Colts Star TY Hilton Suffers Injury Setback and Won't Play Sunday vs Titans

The Indianapolis Colts will be without their most dynamic offensive weapon for Sunday's clash against the Tennessee Titans, a game that will have significant implications in the AFC playoff race.

On Thursday, general manager Chris Ballard disclosed that star wideout TY Hilton be sidelined for the rivalry matchup after suffering a setback with his calf injury during Wednesday's practice.

Hilton was shelved with a calf ailment for Indy's previous three games before returning for Thursday Night Football against the Houston Texans last week.

Given this recent setback and the fact that he was on a pitch count for last week's tilt, it's worth questioning whether the Colts brought him back too soon.

After all, it didn't take a football guru to realize that Hilton wasn't himself against the Texans, as he mustered just three catches for 18 yards.

The severity of the latest setback has yet to be reported, but it goes without saying that Indianapolis should proceed with caution here in order to get him back out on the field without any more ailments.

Stay tuned for updates on Hilton's expected recovery timetable. For his own sake, let's hope it's nothing significant.
