The Colts’ top two pass catchers weren’t spotted at the outset of Friday’s practice.
T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and Reggie Wayne (undisclosed) weren’t on the field for the club’s final major workout before Sunday’s game at Dallas, according to Mike Wells of ESPN.com.
Hilton did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. One of the AFC’s top field-stretching threats, Hilton leads the Colts in catches (82) and receiving yards (1,345).
Wayne (59 catches, 665 yards) was not on the injury report on Wednesday or Thursday, but he has dealt with some ailments, and he has also sat out multiple practices simply to rest this season.
Rookie Donte Moncrief and veteran Hakeem Nicks would be next in line for more reps if Hilton and/or Wayne were out or limited against the Cowboys.
The Colts (10-4) have clinched the AFC South. They still have a shot at a first-round bye, but they are a game behind Denver and New England (11-3) and lose head-to-head tiebreakers with both.
