Indianapolis Colts injury update: WR Josh Downs will be active against the Titans

More good news for the Indianapolis Colts: Wide receiver Josh Downs is active for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Tennessee Titans.

According to Nate Atkins of the Indy Star, Downs was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after suffering a toe injury this week that occurred in the Week 5 game at Jacksonville.

Downs did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but did participate fully in Friday's practice – providing additional hope that he could play in this divisional game.

Downs missed the first two games of the season with a high ankle sprain, but he has become the focal point of the Colts' passing game, particularly in the last two games.

Downs caught 17 of 21 passes in those two games, including 151 yards and a touchdown, providing much-needed stability in the Colts' short-to-intermediate passing game, which has been fairly inconsistent this season.

In this section, Downs ranks first on the team in targets and receptions and second in receiving yards. According to Pro Football Focus, Downs is tied for first in the entire league in targets from the slot, first in receptions and second in receiving yards.

The availability of downs obviously gives the offense a big boost. Before suffering an ankle injury in training camp, he was a favorite target of Anthony Richardson at those practices.

He seems very ready to make the second-year jump that so many successful NFL players do.
