Moss (forearm) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
Moss didn't practice at all last week before being ruled out for this past Sunday's loss to the Falcons. With a listed limited participation level in Wednesday's walk-through, it appears as though Moss has a chance to return to action this weekend against the Raiders. If he does, he'll rejoin a Colts' backfield that welcomed Jonathan Taylor back to the mix in Week 16.

Moss (forearm) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Moss, who injured his right forearm during last Saturday's win over the Steelers, was deemed questionable for the contest after not practicing this past week, and now that he's been ruled out, he'll target a potential return to action Dec. 31 against the Raiders. While Moss will be sidelined Sunday, the Colts will welcome Jonathan Taylor (thumb) back from a three-game absence. Barring any in-game limitations or setbacks, Taylor should reclaim a leading role out of the backfield, with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson serving as the depth options behind him.

Moss (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Moss still has a chance to play despite being unable to practice all week after injuring his right forearm in last Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers. Even if Moss suits up Sunday, he'll likely be relegated to a backup role, as Jonathan Taylor (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation and will return from a three-game absence. In the each of the previous four games in which Taylor was available, Moss played 41 percent or fewer of offensive snaps. If Moss sits out Sunday, more opportunities could be available for depth backs Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson, though Taylor would still expected to dominate the snaps and touches.

Moss (forearm) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Mike Chappell of FOX59 Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moss hasn't practiced in any fashion throughout the week, which suggests it's unlikely that he'll be healthy enough to suit up for Sunday's game against the Falcons, though Friday's injury report could provide clarification on his status. Jonathan Taylor (thumb) has been practicing without limitations, so Taylor will likely return from a three-week absence Sunday, with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson on hand to provide backfield depth. Sermon and Goodson combined for 157 rushing yards in last Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, which Moss exited in the first half.

Moss (forearm) didn't practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Moss was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, what the running back is able to do Friday -- if anything -- will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Falcons. While Moss looks iffy for Week 16 at this stage, fellow back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) logged a full practice Thursday and appears poised to return from a three-game absence this weekend.

Moss (forearm) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
Moss exited this past Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers with what was originally termed a shoulder injury, but the Colts have since clarified that the running back is dealing with an injury to his right forearm. The fourth-year running back notably missed the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars while recovering from a fracture of the same forearm suffered during training camp, but Indianapolis hasn't indicated that his latest injury to the forearm is nearly as serious. In fact, Moss expressed optimism Monday about his potential availability for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Even if he suits up, however, Moss could be relegated to a backup role behind Jonathan Taylor (thumb), who was listed as a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough. Taylor missed the past three games but had been getting the majority of backfield reps at Moss's expense prior to having surgery on his thumb.

Moss (shoulder) intends to suit up for Sunday's game against the Falcons despite having been forced out of Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers with an injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moss had X-rays on his shoulder to determine the severity of his injury, with results thankfully coming back negative. The running back's actual chances of playing Week 16 likely will come down to the extent of his participation in practice, with the same potentially being true for Jonathan Taylor, who has been sidelined the past three games while recovering from thumb surgery. That leaves Indianapolis' backfield murky for the time being. Tennessee also has Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson available as depth options.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Moss (arm) is doing "good" after exiting Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, but Steichen didn't elaborate further on the running back's status heading into a Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis, Steichen said that Moss will be monitored in practice this week along with fellow running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb). While Taylor was sidelined for the Colts' past three games following thumb surgery, Moss took over as the team's clear lead back before the right arm injury forced him out of Saturday's contest. He carried four times for 13 yards and recorded three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown across 19 snaps on offense before departing. The Colts finished the game with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson as their healthy options at running back.

Moss (arm) won't return to Saturday's contest versus the Steelers, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moss injured his right arm at the end of his 16-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, when he was taken down at the left pylon by a horse collar tackle. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) still sidelined, the Colts are down to Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson out of their backfield.

Moss suffered a right arm injury during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Steelers, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts already are down Jonathan Taylor (thumb) in the backfield, and now Moss has joined him on the sideline following a horse collar tackle at the end of a 16-yard touchdown catch. With Moss questionable to return, the team is left with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson as its healthy running backs.
