The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this season.
Not only do they have a record of 3-5-1, but the Colts have already fired their head coach.
This season has been lost, as their hopes of making the playoffs are all but gone.
One big issue they have faced all season has been injuries.
Almost all of their impact players have missed some time this year, and that is part of the reason for their struggles.
#Colts LB Shaquille Leonard, RB Deon Jackson and TE Jelani Woods are all OUT for Week 10.

Shaquille Leonard is arguably the best defensive player on the Colts, and he has only played in three games this season.
Now he is headed to Injured Reserve where he will be forced to miss the next four games.
Also, their best offensive player in Jonathan Taylor has missed three games this season.
Even when he has been on the field he has been hindered by an ankle injury.
Starting quarterback Matt Ryan even suffered a shoulder injury before losing the starting job to Sam Ehlinger.
Rest Of Season Outlook
With Jeff Saturday now taking over as interim head coach for the fired Frank Reich, it is anyone’s guess how he will do as lead man.
Saturday has never coached in college or the NFL before so it will be interesting to see how he does.
But, at the end of the day, this Colts team does not have a good enough roster to compete with the Titans in the AFC South.
Ehlinger is a first-year starting quarterback and he is 0-2 in his first two starts.
At this point, the Colts should be looking towards 2023, and find out what, if anything, they can do better to prevent the injuries.
