There was doubt surrounding a talented Indianapolis Colts player this week.

But ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported last night that Colts rookie WR Josh Downs will be active for the team's Week 10 matchup with the New England Patriots in Germany.

Colts’ WR Josh Downs, listed as questionable for Sunday’s game in Germany due to a knee injury, is expected to play vs. the Patriots, but the team could be cautious in how much it uses him, per source.

The team listed Josh Downs as questionable on Friday after he couldn't practice at all this week. He is dealing with a knee injury that had him limited in practice last week and forced him out of the team's Week 9 matchup.

Schefter now reports that Downs is expected to play today, but the team will be cautious with him. This likely means they will monitor his knee injury throughout the game and will not hesitate to pull him out if he re-aggravates the injury in any way.

He is a player that is a massive part of this offense when healthy, so if he can make throughout the whole game, he has a chance for a big day. The chance of him being pulled early again will be something to monitor during today's game.
