The Indianapolis Colts have placed veteran right tackle Braden Smith on the reserve/non-football illness list due to a personal matter that has left his return for the season uncertain. Smith, a key player for the Colts, missed the last game against the New England Patriots and had been dealing with his status for several weeks. With Smith out, the Colts are making significant changes to their offensive line ahead of a crucial game against the Denver Broncos.

• Braden Smith's absence creates uncertainty for the Colts' offensive line.
• Rookie Matt Goncalves will step in as the starting right tackle.
• Ryan Kelly's downgrade adds to the offensive line challenges for the Colts.
