It was a quiet day on the field for the AFC South, with no teams in action on yesterday’s schedule. Still, a special teams move in Indianapolis and a major injury update elsewhere in the AFC give a bit more context heading into the rest of Week 7.
Colts move on from Thomas Morstead
At 2-4, the Indianapolis Colts are tweaking around the edges of their roster. According to Pro Football Rumors, the team released punter Thomas Morstead from its practice squad as part of Saturday’s practice squad transactions. A move like this suggests the Colts are either comfortable with their current in-game punting option or are freeing up a spot to address depth at another position.
Pro Football Rumors also lists the Colts among the clubs making minor moves and standard practice squad elevations ahead of Sunday’s Week 7 slate, though the full details of those Indianapolis decisions are not specified in the brief roundup available.
Titans watch as Lamar Jackson ruled out
Sitting at 1-5, the Tennessee Titans are keeping an eye on developments across the conference. Pro Football Rumors reports that Lamar Jackson has officially been downgraded to out for the Ravens’ matchup with the Bengals, marking his third straight missed game. The outlet notes that Baltimore finished its Week 4 win over the Titans without Jackson in the second half.
While Jackson’s injury is an AFC North storyline, it can still influence the broader playoff race in the conference, which matters to a Titans team trying to salvage its season after a rough start.
Jaguars and Texans stay in holding pattern
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) and Houston Texans (2-4) were not mentioned in yesterday’s transaction roundups. Jacksonville remains atop the AFC South, with Houston sharing the same record as Indianapolis at 2-4. With no games played on the day, the divisional picture is unchanged for now: Jaguars out front, Colts and Texans bunched in the middle, and the Titans bringing up the rear as Week 7’s Sunday action approaches.
