  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Back on field

    Speed (knee) was a full participant during practice Wednesday.

    Speed was unable to play in the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins despite logging a full practice last Friday. After opening this week with another full practice, the Tarleton State product should be good to go Sunday against the Texans.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Ruled out for Week 7

    Speed (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Speed initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday. However, the knee injury was severe enough for him to be downgraded to doubtful Saturday, and the 2019 fifth-round pick will officially miss his first game of the regular season. Expect Grant Stuard to start alongside Segun Olubi and Zaire Franklin for Sunday's game.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Unlikely to play vs. Miami

    Speed (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Speed presumably picked up a knee injury during the Colts' Week 6 win over the Titans. He opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but he upgraded his practice participation over the next two days and was a full participant in Friday's session. Speed initially drew the questionable tag as a result, but it appears the knee injury is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the regular season. If Speed is indeed inactive for Sunday's contest, Grant Stuard should draw the start at linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin and Segun Olubi.
