Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is listed as questionable for Monday night’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints but it seems he’s trending in the right direction to suit up for the matchup.
Still dealing with a calf injury that has been lingering since Week 9, Hilton logged two limited practices this week but was a no show on Saturday. However, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Hilton is trending in the right direction to play.
The Colts are in a must-win situation. Should they lose Monday night, they would be officially knocked out of the playoff race. Hilton’s impact on the offense is well-known. The unit simply doesn’t run the same without its primary weapon.
The 30-year-old has been battling injuries throughout the season and has missed six games thus far. Even though it is a long shot for the Colts to make the playoffs, they are still technically in the race.
The Colts will release their inactives list an hour and a half before the game Monday night, which makes Hilton’s status certainly one to watch.
