The Indianapolis Colts will be missing a key player on their offensive line for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Jets. Left tackle Bernhard Raimann has been officially ruled out due to a knee injury that has kept him sidelined throughout the week. Raimann suffered the injury early in last Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, forcing rookie Matt Goncalves to step in at left tackle. The Colts will now rely on Goncalves to fill the void left by Raimann in their offensive line as they prepare for the Jets.
On a brighter note, the Colts will get a key offensive weapon back in the lineup. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is set to return after missing last week’s game due to a back injury. Pittman has been a full participant in practice this week and has no injury designation heading into the game. His return will be a boost for Indianapolis’ passing game as they look to bounce back from last week’s defeat.
In terms of other injury updates, linebacker E.J. Speed is listed as questionable with a knee issue. Speed’s status will be one to watch as the weekend approaches, as he could play a crucial role on defense if he’s able to suit up.
