Indianapolis took another hit on defense as Jerrell Freeman was lost for the game.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Freeman initially went to the sideline with the cut and it was thought he would miss a series or two while trainers patched him up. The hit was harder than initially thought as he became the next in a long line of Colts’ defensive injuries.
Safety LaRon Landry and defensive end Bjoern Werner were both ruled out of Thursday's game with injury, making Freeman the third starter unavailable. The former CFL linebacker has been a bright spot on for the Indianapolis defense this season, amassing 43 tackles, 3.0 sacks and two forced fumbles in five games.
Kavell Conner would have stepped in for Freeman, but he was also ruled out with injury. The team now turns to Mario Harvey who has just three tackles on the season.
