Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a shoulder injury. Head coach Shane Steichen indicated that it would be challenging for Downs to play in the upcoming game against the New England Patriots. This absence raises concerns about his availability for the weekend, especially with other wide receivers also sidelined. Additionally, Downs has been performing well this season, particularly with Joe Flacco as the quarterback, but will now have Anthony Richardson back under center, which could impact his consistency.
