The final injury report of Colts week is out:
Smith’s injury will create an exciting opportunity for first round pick Olu Fashanu to make his first start at his preferred left tackle position having already started games at right tackle and right guard. Hopefully, he can build on Sunday’s relief performance which was probably his best so far.
Adams’ return was expected but is still a relief because the receiving corps would look very shorthanded without Adams, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams.
The Colts ruled out their starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann which means two rookies (Tanor Bortonlini and Matt Goncalves) will be starting for them. Both have played well so far, though, so this won’t necessary be that much of an advantage.
