The Colts go against the wishes of a loud portion of their fan base just hours before Week 5 matchup against the Raiders

Colts Week 5 inactives

Mitchell ends up active this week after two crucial mistakes wiped 14 points off the board in a game where the team ended up losing by only 7. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shared that the Colts may give more snaps on the day to Ashton Dulin opposed to Mitchell but both are active and ready to play a role today with starter Alec Pierce still in the NFL's concussion protocol . I would assume the Colts use Josh Downs in a larger role than he's seen in recent weeks.

The other Colts starter out today is CB Kenny Moore II who like Pierce is missing his second game of the year. The team will give veteran Mike Hilton his second straight start after signing him to their practice squad. After this week the team will need to move him to the active roster full time if they want him to continue playing. And if Moore's injury forces him to miss more Mo time they honestly won't have a choice.

Raiders Week 5 inactives

The Raiders have three starters on their inactives list and down four total starters with LT Kolton Miller being placed on the IR. The most notable inactive for the Raiders will be star TE Brock Bowers. Late in the week head coach Pete Carroll allowed to Bowers being ready to go, but that doesn't end up being the case. The Raiders are also down their second string TE Michael Mayer so this is a massive blow to their offense and a big break for the Colts.
