Titans vs Colts injury report and starting lineup - September 26 | NFL 2021-2022 season
The Indianapolis Colts travel to Nissan Stadium to take on the Tennessee Titans this Sunday in an AFC divisional showdown. With the Jacksonville Jaguars still in rebuilding mode and the Houston Texans in disarray, missing both Deshaun Watson and now Tyrod Taylor, this matchup could be pivotal in deciding the division winner at the end of Week 17.
Both teams are facing dire injury situations this early in the season. For the Indianapolis Colts, starting quarterback Carson Wentz is listed as questionable with injuries to his ankles. He practiced for the first time on Friday, although in a limited capacity.
He took some brutal hits last week against Aaron Donald's Los Angeles Rams.
