Will Josh Downs play vs. Chargers? Indianapolis Colts receiver remains in concussion protocol
The Indianapolis Colts have injury concerns at wide receiver as their NFL Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Chargers nears.
Starter Josh Downs (concussion) and reserve Ashton Dulin (chest) did not practice for a second consecutive day. If the Colts are thin at that position, Adonai Mitchell — who has largely missed the past two games after a pair of big mistakes in Week 4 action — might be active.
Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward, who suffered a concussion in Week 6 pregame warmups, also missed a second straight day of practice.
According to research by IndyStar using Pro Football Reference data, 132 players in the 2024 and ’25 seasons have been on the game day injury report for a concussion:
- 15.9% didn’t miss a game
- 62.1% missed 1 game
- 15.9% missed 2 games
- 6.1% missed 3 or more games

Our Monday brings clouds, but we’re also expecting many hours of sunshine to brighten things up. Winds turn more out of the west, which will allow us to warm temperatures back above average. Afternoon highs reach into the lower 40s.

The “warm-up” doesn’t last too long. A midweek system brings the chance for rain and snow showers followed by more typical January temperatures.

Anti-ICE protesters line up on East 86th Street in Indianapolis
Peter Moore, a 48-year-old resident of Carmel, talks about why he joined an anti-ice protest on East 86th Street in Carmel on Jan. 10, 2026.
Anti-ICE protesters lined up on both sides of East 86th Street, near the Monon Trail crossing, in Indianapolis on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2026.
The group of roughly 200 people chanted, “this is what democracy looks like” and held up signs as vehicles drove by, with some drivers beeping in support.
“Since President Trump took office for his second term, it’s not normal and we can’t be conditioned anymore,” Peter Moore, a 48-year-old resident of Carmel, told IndyStar when asked why he was attending the protest. “The more we protest, the more of an effect we’re going to gradually have. I’m very encouraged by the response out here.”
More than 1,000 anti-ICE protests are scheduled nationwide for Jan. 10, and Jan. 11, following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Good, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 by Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement removal officer based in Minnesota.
“We’re seeing U.S. citizens at risk, we’re seeing people’s safety at risk,” said Brittany Miller, 27-year-old Indianapolis resident, when asked why she was attending the protest. “Silence is compliance. If we don’t do something, if we don’t say something , I think we’re headed in a really scary way. If we keep showing up and keep pushing back, there’s power in the people.”
