The Indianapolis Colts head into the preseason as a banged-up operation.
While quarterback Andrew Luck and his on-the-mend shoulder loom as a raging question mark for Week 1, plenty of teammates are dealing with injuries of their own.
Phillip Dorsett missed his fourth consecutive practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury, putting a critical camp on hold for the third-year receiver, per multiple reports.
Meanwhile, reliable second-year centerRyan Kelly left the practice field with an unknown injury. Longtime Colts beat writer Mike Chappell reported the pivot was later "spotted on crutches." Kelly is expected to miss a few weeks, according to a report from WTTV-TV.
Also for the Colts, heavily touted rookie running back Marlon Mack missed another session due to a shoulder injury, while linebacker Jon Bostic is out until next week after having a plate inserted into his fractured finger, per Stephen Holder of The Indianapolis Star.
