Colts activate Darius Leonard, Zach Pascal, Khari Willis from reserve/COVID-19 list

The Indianapolis Colts can clinch a playoff berth with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. Although they don't know the status of starting quarterback Carson Wentz yet, they welcomed back three members of their squad on Thursday morning.

Leonard -- who was just named to his third Pro Bowl -- is tied with Joey Bosa and Josh Norman for first in the NFL with six forced fumbles this season, while ranking second on the Colts in tackles (107), passes defended (seven) and interceptions (three). Pascal is second on the team to Michael Pittman Jr. in targets (65) and receiving yards (369) and is tied with running back Jonathan Taylor for second in receptions at 36.

Pascal also has three touchdown receptions this season.

Willis has recorded 54 tackles, four passes defended, two interceptions and 1.5 sacks in nine games this season. While activating the trio of players on Thursday should help, Indianapolis isn't out of the woods yet.

The Colts and Raiders are scheduled to play at 1:00 p.m. ET on Jan. 2.
