Colts Thursday Injury Report: Only Two Players Did Not Practice

Happy New Year, Colts fans!  The Colts will look to get 2015 started off right with a victory on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, but already the first day of the new year has brought relatively good information: there were only two players who didn't practice today for the Colts, and everyone else was a full participant.  That's about as good as it gets in January.  Let's take a look at the full injury report:

Did Not Practice:

Hugh Thornton, OL (shoulder)

A.Q. Shipley, OL (ankle)

Full Practice:

Erik Walden, OLB (knee)

Reggie Wayne, WR (groin)

Bjoern Werner, OLB (shoulder)

Josh Cribbs, RS (rest Wednesday)

Dwayne Allen, TE (knee)

Jerrell Freeman, LB (hamstring)

Joe Reitz, OL (ankle)

A few notes:

• For the second straight day, neither A.Q. Shipley nor Hugh Thornton practiced.  Shipley is "day-to-day" and Thornton is "week-to-week," though all signs currently point to neither being available for the Colts this Sunday.
• The rest of the injury report is encouraging, however.  Yesterday, Erik Walden, Reggie Wayne, and Bjoern Werner were all limited, but today all three were full participants - which is a good sign.
• Yesterday, Gosder Cherilus was limited in practice, but later that evening the Colts placed him on injured reserve - ending his season.
