Hoyer won't play Sunday against the Colts. "Still in the (concussion) protocol," coach Bill O'Brien relayed of Hoyer on Wednesday. "Not to speak for him but I think he is feeling better. He's not going to play on Sunday."

As a result, T.J. Yates, who relieved Hoyer in Week 14's loss to the Patriots, will draw the start at QB on Sunday against the Colts, with Hoyer thus targeting a potential return to action in Week 16 against the Titans.
