Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman (back) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the Texans.

Pittman has been playing through the back issue for a few weeks. The Colts are managing his practice reps carefully. He was held out of practice on Wednesday and Friday before being cleared. Still, it appears to just be workload management for the veteran receiver. Pittman has struggled with Anthony Richardson under center but did turn his three receptions into 63 yards last week. He remains stuck at the back of the WR3 ranks for Week 8.
