The Indianapolis Colts were looking to take the momentum they earned during a 3-0 preseason into a Week 1 matchup against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, but they were completely derailed when quarterback Carson Wentz hit the COVID-19 list in the lead-up.
After overcoming a foot injury that doctors claimed could’ve sidelined him for as long as 12 weeks, Wentz appeared ready to make his Colts debut on time. However, his stint on the COVID list raised some additional doubts about his availability.
