Colts vs Titans inactives: 7 players out for Week 16 matchup

The Indianapolis Colts have listed their inactive ahead of Sunday’s Week 16 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Let’s take a quick look at what you need to know.

QB Sam Ehlinger

CB Chris Lammons

THE Land of Isaiah

G Antonio Mafi

G Dalton Rucker

WR Alec Pierce

LB EJ Speed

Each Sunday, teams may only have 48 active players on the matchday roster. With the Colts lifting two players from the practice squad along with their usual 53-man roster, seven players were to be inactive for this specific game.

The good news is that Matt Gay, Mo Alie-Cox and Ashton Dulin, who were all questionable, will be active and available.

As you already know, the Colts will be without Pierce and Speed, both of whom were ruled out Friday. Expect more from Dulin and AD Mitchell with Pierce out, and we could see a big role for Jaylon Carlies in his return.

With Ryan Kelly back in the starting lineup and Mark Glowinski elevated again, the Colts have depth along the interior offensive line, resulting in Mafi and Tucker being inactive. With his play the last two games, Danny Pinter has leapfrogged Tucker on the depth chart.

As has been the case all season with the Colts healthy at quarterback and defensive end, Ehlinger and Land are the healthy scratches – though Ehlinger is available if needed as an emergency quarterback.

Finally, the Colts are opting to go with more boundary cornerback depth in this game, making Lammons inactive in favor of Tre Flowers, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday.
