Colts rule out DT Denico Autry, 2 others vs. Panthers

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich ruled out three players on the defensive side of the ball Friday ahead of the Week 16 home matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

Not surprisingly, the three players that were ruled out were defensive tackle Denico Autry (concussion), cornerback Kenny Moore (ankle) and cornerback Quincy Wilson (shoulder). None of the three practiced at all this week.

Autry had concussion symptoms following the Week 15 primetime game against the New Orleans Saints. Wilson also suffered his injury during the loss.

Moore has missed the last two games due to the ankle injury. He will now miss his third in a row. Coincidentally, the Colts defense has given up 38 and 34 points in the last two games, respectively.

Reich also mentioned that safety Malik Hooker, who has been dealing with a hand injury this week, is questionable for the matchup.
