Lewis (ribs) was listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Lewis first appeared on this week's injury report on Friday with a rib issue. However, this won't keep him from suiting up for the third game in a row. Across six appearances this season, Lewis has logged 20 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. He should continue to play behind starting defensive ends Kwity Paye and Dayo Odeyingbo on Sunday.

Colts' Jaylon Carlies: Still on IR
Rotowire
Carlies (lower leg) remains on injured reserve and will not play Sunday against the Broncos.

Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Added to injury report Saturday
Rotowire
Lewis (ribs) is questionable to suit up for Sunday's Week 15 game in Denver.
Lewis didn't appear on Indianapolis' injury report throughout the week, but he's now dealing with a rib injury that puts his status for Sunday's matchup in peril. The veteran defensive end missed seven games earlier in the campaign, but that was due to a calf issue. If Lewis sits out Sunday, Isaiah Land could get more defensive snaps.

Rotowire
Carlies (lower leg) is expected to be a game-time call for Sunday's Week 15 battle against the Broncos, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Carlies called himself a game-time decision after the Colts deemed him questionable for Sunday. The rookie linebacker remains on IR, and he'll need to be activated Saturday in order to be eligible to suit up Sunday.

Colts' Jaylon Carlies: Designated to return
Rotowire
Carlies (lower leg) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
The rookie linebacker from Missouri sustained a lower leg injury in the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins and has missed all six of Indianapolis' games since. However, Carlies returned to practice Wednesday, opening the 21-day window for him to be added back to the active roster. Expect the 23-year-old to contribute on both defense and special teams once he's fully past his lower leg injury.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Practice window not opening yet
Rotowire
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday the team is not yet designating Brents (knee) to return from IR, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Brents, who was placed on IR after injuring his knee during Indianapolis' regular-season opener, has technically been eligible to resume practicing since early October. It doesn't appear as though the second-year pro has a significant chance of returning for Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, though, which will leave him with just three more opportunities to get back on the field before the conclusion of the regular season.

Trysten Hill: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Colts placed Hill (undisclosed) on the practice squad/injured list Tuesday.
Hill will have to spend at least four games on the practice squad/injured list, which rules him out for the remainder of the regular season. If Indianapolis earns a playoff berth, Hill will have a chance to get healthy in time to be eligible for elevation from the practice squad.
