The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans released their final injury reports with designations Friday ahead of the Week 1 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Both teams have very short injury reports with only three total players between them holding designations for the regular season opener.
The Colts will be without at least one starter while another is listed as questionable. Meanwhile, the Texans had a pretty clean bill of health throughout the week and ruled out just one player.
We'll make any updates to this if either team makes changes to their injury reports Saturday, but these are the players with injury designations for the Week 1 matchup.
Colts vs. Texans Week 1: Full injury designations
Colts
Ruled Out
- WR Josh Downs (ankle)
Downs failed to log a practice throughout the entire week, which is to be expected after suffering a high-ankle sprain a few weeks ago during training camp. He seems to be making tangible progress and could return soon but being active for Week 1 was always a long shot.
Questionable
- K Matt Gay (hernia)
Though Gay didn't practice at all this week after undergoing surgery to repair a hernia, the Colts aren't ruling him completely out for the game. The Colts could downgrade him on Saturday, though. If that's the case, the Colts will lean on undrafted rookie Spencer Shrader.
Texans
Ruled Out
- S M.J. Stewart (knee)
Stewart was the only player on the injury report for the Texans this week. He didn't log any level of participation in practice due to a knee injury and was likely headed for a rotational role on defense with some heavy contributions on special teams.
