Colts vs Niners injury report and starting lineup - October 24

Sunday Night Football in Week 7 features the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers going toe-to-toe trying to salvage anything from their injury-detailed seasons.

Since their run to the Super Bowl two seasons ago, the 49ers' roster has been decimated by injuries to their star players, with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo being one of the biggest victims of the injury bug. The team picked quarterback Trey Lance in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and he too is hurt right now and won't be available for this game.

The Colts took a gamble on former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz after his relationship with his former team quickly deteriorated. Wentz is injury-prone, but he managed to stay healthy last year and has not missed a game this season. The problem for Indianapolis is that, while the quarterback is healthy, other important players aren't.

Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (ankle), defensive end Kemoko Turay (groin) and right tackle Braden Smith (foot) are also confirmed absences for the game.

Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was downgraded to out on Saturday.

However, it's not all bad news. Star left guard Quenton Nelson was activated from the injured reserve and will be back on the field against the 49ers.

For the 49ers, the biggest news is that Jimmy Garoppolo is back after his ankle injury kept him out of Week 5, but rookie quarterback Trey Lance has a knee problem and won't be playing against the Colts.

Defensive linemen Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Maurice Hurst (calf) won't feature Sunday. Linebacker Marcell Harris is questionable to play, just like left tackle Trent Williams, who's nursing an ankle sprain.
