The Colts had two safeties leave last Sunday’s game early because of injuries and they haven’t had either of them at practice yet this week.
Mike Adams suffered a hamstring injury against the Patriots after helping them build a first half lead. Adams intercepted a pass that wide receiver Julian Edelman bobbled directly into his hands and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter of the game. It was Adams’s fourth interception of the season, so the Colts would be down a playmaker in the secondary if he can’t play.
Clayton Geathers left the game with a knee injury in a development that wound up looming large in the second half of the game. Geathers was supposed to be snapping the ball to Colt Anderson when the Colts opted for a bit of trickery instead of punting the ball in the third quarter. His absence didn’t stop the Colts coaching staff from calling the play, which failed when wide receiver Griff Whalen took Geathers’s place and snapped the ball to Anderson for a loss.
If both players are out, Anderson would likely join Dwight Lowery in the starting lineup.
