Colts practice injury report: Quenton Nelson (back) did not practice

The Indianapolis Colts added some new names to the practice injury report on Thursday, including All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson, who is seemingly dealing with a back injury.

Nelson didn’t participate in Thursday’s practice as the Colts prepare for the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Colts are favored by 7.5 points despite being on the road.

Here’s a look at the injury report for the Colts following Thursday’s practice:

Name Position Injury Wed. (9/9) Thurs. (9/10) Fri. (9/11) Game Status
Matthew Adams LB Ankle LP LP
Julian Blackmon S Knee LP LP
Anthony Castonzo OT Oblique LP LP
Ryan Kelly C Knee LP LP
Dezmon Patmon WR Knee LP FP
Quenton Nelson G Back DNP
Justin Houston DE Calf LP

The injury statuses for the game will be revealed after Friday’s practice so Nelson’s situation will certainly be one to monitor. Should he miss the opener, the Colts would likely turn to their veteran Chaz Green or fifth-round pick Danny Pinter.

Defensive end Justin Houston was also added to the injury report on Thursday due to a calf injury, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion.

Here’s a look at the Jaguars’ practice injury report on Thursday:

Name Position Injury Wed. (9/9) Thurs. (9/10) Fri. (9/11) Game Status
Tyler Davis TE Knee DNP DNP
Tyler Eifert TE Rest DNP FP
Adam Gostis DE Rest DNP
James O’Shaughnessy TE Rest DNP
Josiah Scott CB Shoulder FP

Running back Devine Ozigbo was placed on the injured reserve list so he won’t be showing up on the injury report for the next three weeks.
