In this story:

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann for Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a knee injury, according to head coach Shane Steichen. Meanwhile, top wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will make his return to the field after missing last week's game with a back injury.

Raimann didn't practice Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week and was seen with supportive gear on his left leg during Friday's practice. He was also out two weeks ago with a concussion but returned last week against the Buffalo Bills before leaving the game early due to the knee. Rookie Matt Goncalves will fill in for Raimann once again.

Pittman was a full participant all three days, making it the first time since Week 5 that he has not missed any practice time in a full week.
