Colts WR Josh Downs suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday's training camp session, HC Shane Steichen said. Downs was tackled by S Nick Cross in 7-on-7 work and had to be helped off the field, putting no weight on his injured ankle, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

We'll look for more details on Downs' injury and timeline for return. The second-year WR has been a standout in camp and was primed to open the season as Indianapolis' No. 2 WR.

Other Winners & Losers

Downs' absence will free up opportunity for WRs Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell, who have been battling for the No. 3 WR job.

Rankings Movement

We're not moving Downs in the WR rankings right now -- but he certainly comes with elevated risk in fantasy drafts until we learn more about this injury.
