The Indianapolis Colts have some good news as wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been cleared from the concussion protocol and is expected to play against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Pittman Jr. suffered a concussion during the Colts’ Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. He was immediately placed in the concussion protocol and missed the team’s Week 13 game against the Houston Texans.
The Colts have been dealing with a number of injuries this season, but Pittman Jr.’s return is a welcome sight for the team. Pittman Jr. has been a key contributor for the Colts this season, catching 33 passes for 437 yards and two touchdowns. He has also been a reliable target for quarterback Philip Rivers, who has praised Pittman Jr.’s work ethic and ability to make plays.
Pittman Jr.’s return will give the Colts a much-needed boost as they look to make a push for the playoffs. The Colts are currently in second place in the AFC South with a 7-4 record and are just one game behind the division-leading Titans.
The Colts will need all hands on deck if they want to make a run at the playoffs, and having Pittman Jr. back in the lineup will be a big help. The Raiders are also 7-4 and are fighting for their own playoff spot, so this game will be an important one for both teams.
It’s great news that Pittman Jr. has been cleared from the concussion protocol and is expected to play on Sunday. The Colts need all of their weapons available if they want to make a run at the playoffs, and having Pittman Jr. back in the lineup will be a big help.
