The Sunday Night Football meeting is set up as Week 9 is soon to wrap up. It's the Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans as these two AFC South teams meet at 8:30 p.m. ET. If you cannot watch or listen to the game, check out the scoring udpates available as this crucial game could be a turning point for both teams.
The Colts do not need this win as badly as the Texans. At 5-2, the Colts and Andew Luck are in first place, succeeding and winning earlier than expected. The Texans, on the other hand, after being considered heavy favorites in the AFC South and possible Super Bowl contenders, have digressed heavily. However, the playing field might be a little more balanced for Matt Schuab and the Colts.
Here is a look at the injury report for the Colts as their defense will be short of valuable bodies.
| Darrius Heyward-Bey | WR | Hamstring | Questionable |
| Josh Gordy | CB | Groin | Out |
| Bjoern Werner | DE | Foot | Probable |
| Delano Howell | S | Neck | Out |
| Cam Johnson | LB | Knee | Questionable |
| Samson Satele | C | Knee | Probable |
| Gregory Toler | CB | Groin | Out |
This will be a good chance for the Texans to try going deep. Two cornerbacks and a safety out of the game is crucial and the Colts' defense will depend greatly on their front four to get them a few sacks in this game.
| Keshawn Martin | WR | Shoulder | Probable |
| Darryl Sharpton | LB | Foot | Probable |
| Ben Tate | RB | Ribs | Probable |
| Shiloh Keo | S | Achilles | Probable |
| Wade Smith | G | Knee | Probable |
| Duane Brown | T | Toe | Probable |
| Brandon Brooks | G | Toe | Probable |
| Eddie Pleasant | S | Toe | Probable |
| Earl Mitchell | DT | Knee | Probable |
| Brice McCain | CB | Knee | Probable |
| DeVier Posey | WR | Calf | Probable |
| Arian Foster | RB | Hamstring | Questionable |
| Matt Schaub | QB | Ankle | Probable |
| Derek Newton | T | Knee | Probable |
The Texans are fairly healthy as their defense is healthy. Foster, their force in the rushing game is their biggest liability heading into the game. Without a doubt, the Texans will need as many weapons as they can have ready to go as the Colts are one of the best teams in football despite having two losses.
