Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs will miss the season opener against the Houston Texans due to an ankle injury. Coach Shane Steichen confirmed that Downs was able to participate in some individual drills but is not ready for game action. This opens up opportunities for other receivers on the team, particularly Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce, to step up in his absence. Looking ahead, Downs is targeting a return for the following week against the Green Bay Packers.
