Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Set for decreased role in Week 5

Mitchell is expected to handle a more limited role on offense during Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Mitchell was given an opportunity at a larger role in Week 4 against the Rams due to the absence of Alec Pierce (concussion). Though the second-year wideout logged three catches (on four targets) for 96 yards, he had a 76-yard receiving touchdown wiped out after inadvertently dropping the football right before reaching the end zone. He then had a costly holding penalty in the fourth quarter that negated a Jonathan Taylor 53-yard rushing touchdown. Pierce will end up missing a second straight game Sunday against Las Vegas, but Fowler relays that veteran Ashton Dulin -- not Mitchell -- will likely see more snaps as the Colts' third receiver alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.
