Colts, Titans Injury Report: Significant Progress Made in Thursday's Practice
It's a pivotal matchup for the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans.
The Colts are winners of two straight games and now get a chance to redeem themselves against the last team to beat them, as the Titans took home a 24-17 victory back in Week 4.
The visiting team got a big boost on the injury report on Thursday with several players returning to full status.
Here's how both teams are looking, health-wise, ahead of Sunday's matchup.

Also, after it was reported that he wasn't at practice earlier in the day, defensive tackle Stewart was also revealed to be resting as well.
Blackmon, Hines, and Jackson all continue to be full participants, as Granson, Leonard, and Taylor all got upgraded to full status as well, which bodes well for their status this weekend.
