Colts activate Pro Bowl LS Luke Rhodes from reserve/COVID-19 list

The Indianapolis Colts are one of five AFC teams vying for one of the two spots left up for grabs in the upcoming postseason. In Week 17, they were nearly without starting quarterback Carson Wentz due to COVID-19.

They were however, unable to get starting long snapper Luke Rhodes onto the field in time for their loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. It looks like the Pro Bowler will be back for Week 18, though.

Rhodes is in his sixth NFL season -- all with the Colts -- and is one of seven Indianapolis players this year to be named to the Pro Bowl. As of Wednesday morning, the Colts don't have any players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Rhodes has been on the field for 139 special teams snaps (35%) this season.
