Michael Pittman Jr. Out Multiple Weeks With Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is set to miss multiple weeks due to a significant back injury, with a potential stint on injured reserve being evaluated. Pittman, who has had a quiet start to the 2024 season with 238 yards and one touchdown, did not practice on Wednesday following his injury. The Colts are already facing challenges with injuries to other key players, including quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor. This absence could impact the team's offensive dynamics, although other receivers like Alec Pierce and Josh Downs may see increased roles. The Colts, currently at a 2-3 record, will face the Tennessee Titans in Week 6 without their leading receiver. Fantasy football implications suggest that Pittman's absence opens opportunities for rookies and other wideouts in the Colts' lineup.
