The Colts dressed only seven offensive linemen on Sunday and they’re down to six before the first quarter is out.

Left guard Donald Thomas banged knees with center Samson Satele while pass blocking on a play in the team’s game against the Dolphins and immediately went down to the ground. He was helped up and onto a cart to head back to the locker room.

The Colts have already announced that Thomas is done for the game. It wouldn’t be surprising to learn that he’ll be out even longer than that after seeing the way Thomas went down.

Hugh Thornton replaced Thomas after his injury and the Colts, who had driven into the red zone, settled for an Adam Vinatieri field goal to make it a 7-3 Miami lead.
