Two Colts Starters Miss Practice Before Facing Steelers

Ebukam and Lewis both suffered their injuries in the Colts' Week 7 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers, but Ebukam's is thought to be more severe. He sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday, while Lewis put in his first practice of the week on Thursday.

Gould is one of the main return men for the Colts. He hasn't practiced for two straight days, which means someone else will take over his special teams duties if he can't go by Sunday.

Stewart has been a key part of the Colts' defensive success this season by deflecting passes at the line and stuffing opposing running backs. If the big man can't go, it'll be up to Adetomiwa Adebawore and Neville Gallimore to take over his snaps.

Downs, Cross, and Moore all missed Wednesday but returned to the field a day later. Their full participation is a good indication that they'll be healthy by game time.

Jones has spent the last seven weeks on injured reserve, but his practice window was finally opened last week. He's been a full participant the last two days and could be a much-needed reinforcement for the Colts' injury-riddled secondary against the Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers.
