Colts WR Josh Downs gives promising update on his injury status ahead of their Week 3 matchup

Downs was able to practice every day last week but only logged one full practice on Friday ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup. The team allowed Downs to test his ankle during pre-game but made him inactive for the matchup to give him more time to heal.  

He now has started the week right where he left off last week, with him being a full participant in practice on Wednesday. And by how Downs and the team have spoken about his chances of playing, I'm starting to think he won't even hold a questionable designation following Friday's practice. 

Getting Downs back would be a big boost for a Colts offense that has struggled to put together long drives to keep their defense off the field. They have been dominated in time of possession the first two weeks of the season. Watching Downs and Anthony Richardson last season, it was evident that they have formed a special chemistry, even if they've only played limited snaps together. Look for Downs to hit the road running by retaking his starting job out of the slot, and I'd expect him to be one of Richardson's favorite targets, especially on third downs.
