The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 18 of the NFL season ahead of their season finale Sunday game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Quarterback Anthony Richardson has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a back injury. Richardson has been unable to practice all week, making it two weeks without a practice and now a second game he will miss due to the back injury. It was originally described as “soreness” but after further conversations with Richardson and the team it appears to be back spasms which Richardson said have occurred due to a “chronic” back condition. With Richardson OUT this Sunday he has now missed 17 out of 34 career games so far. It looks like another start for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on Sunday in the Colts last game of the 2024 season.

Cornerback Juju Brents has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sundays game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury. Brents has practiced all week, for the second week in a row, in a bid to make his return from injured reserve. It appears he is in a similar situation to last week where it looked like he may have finally been activated only to be ruled out on the Saturday before the game. Hopefully this is the week he gets activated and gets to make his long awaited return to game time on Sunday. If he is unable to play expect the usual starting line up at cornerback of Jaylon Jones and Samuel Womack on the boundary and Kenny Moore in the nickel.

Don’t leave your vehicle along the highway during this looming winter storm, unless you want it towed.

Indiana State Police is warning drivers that vehicles left along interstates specific to the Indianapolis area will be hauled away. With the winter weather right around the corner, troopers will be removing abandoned motor vehicles regardless of how long they’ve been there.

“Now, that doesn’t mean that you’re out of gas and you’re stuck on the road we’ll take it,” Sgt. John Perrine told IndyStar. “If you call us and let us know the situation then we can work with you. We can also help if you need help with a ride or a tow truck.”

While people normally have 24 hours to remove their vehicles from the side of highways, during winter weather, vehicles are quickly towed.

Perrine said these abandoned vehicles pose a hazard for other drivers and impede emergency response and the Indiana Department of Transportation’s ability to push snow out of the road. Stalled vehicles also can be a hazard for other cars if the roads are slick and icy, and plows need the shoulders of the road to pile up the snow.

Indianapolis has over 200 miles of interstate roads including I-74, I-69, I-465, I-70 and I-465.
