With Anthony Richardson on injured reserve due to an eye injury, sixth-round draft pick Riley Leonard will serve as Colts backup vs Titans

The Tennessee Titans will face the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, at 3:25 p.m. CDT.

For a piece published on Friday, Mitchell spoke with James Boyd of The Athletic about a playing future that's seemingly up in the air ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.

The Indianapolis Colts look like one of the best teams in the NFL, and the Tennessee Titans look like one of the worst. That just about sums up the tale of the tape between these two AFC South rivals.

Following Friday's practice, Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steiche announced that wide receiver Josh Downs is available for the team's Week 8 game with Tennessee. Downs entered concussion protocol after the Colts ' Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals. After not practicing last week, he then did not play this past Sunday in LA.

The Indianapolis Colts' Jonathan Taylor and the Tennessee Titans' Cam Ward could reward bettors with surefire props.

The Indianapolis Colts are No. 1 in the NFL in several key statistics. The Tennessee Titans are last in the league in many of those same areas.

The Chargers threw the first punch of the second half with a quick touchdown drive. But any momentum was shortly lived: Ameer Abdullah, who was signed to the active roster yesterday, took the kickoff return 81 yards, and two plays later, Jonathan Taylor scored his second touchdown of the day.

This offseason move was critical, and ESPN 's Bill Barnwell calls the Colts' offseason the best of the NFL. Barnwell also adds the signing of safety Cam Bynum, the hiring of defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, and the drafting of tight end Tyler Warren.

There are five major storylines to follow heading into the Week 8 matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts received encouraging news on a few key injuries in the first practice before their rematch with the Titans.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Mitchell has "been in the right mindset" since the Week 4 gaffe vs. the Rams.
