This is nothing unusual for Pittman as he tends to his back injury. The issue originally threatened to sideline him for multiple weeks. He has not missed a game since. Expect his reps on Wednesdays to be managed or nixed entirely for a while. Coming off a quiet, 63-yard day on three receptions, Pittman is stuck in the WR4 ranks as long as Anthony Richardson is under center.
Like Michael Pittman, Downs has been nursing the toe issue for a few weeks but it has yet to cost him any playing time. He should ply through it again in Week 8. The bigger issue for him and the rest of the Colts pass-catchers is Anthony Richardson. Downs caught one pass for three yards in Indy's Week 7 win over the Dolphins. Barring a setback, Downs will sit in the WR4 ranks for his upcoming game versus Houston.
Not many QBs through the years were as inaccurate as Richardson has been this season.
Nate Tice is joined by the great Matt Harmon as the duo decide whether or not they're buying the biggest storylines and narratives to emerge from Week 7 of NFL action.
Accuracy issues remain for the Broncos and Colts passers
