Is Michael Pittman Jr. playing tonight?
Yes, Pittman is active and healthy, he just hasn't reeled in a catch yet.
Pittman was targeted on a deep ball on the first drive but couldn't reel it in, and he also had a catch negated due to a penalty on the Colts.
Indy then fumbled the kickoff return before its second drive, which kept the offense off the field.
