Colts star misses practice and the reason why is discouraging

The Indianapolis Colts took the practice field today for the first time this week ahead of their Week 18 matchup with the Houston Texans.

Unfortunately, they were missing their star center, Ryan Kelly, and to make it even worse, he had a boot on his left foot.

The Colts finally got their entire starting offensive line back on the field together last week. And we saw them make a huge impact, helping Jonathan Taylor go for over 100 total yards and only allowing one sack to a Las Vegas Raiders defense that was hot coming into Week 17.

Kelly was looked at by trainers during the Colts win in Week 17. And now it seems that injury is still bothering him after having to miss today's practice.

Kelly still has one more opportunity to practice on Thursday prior to their crucial game on Saturday against the Houston Texans. The Colts have allowed star veteran players to play after a very limited or even no practice week. With players like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner over the past few years.
