The Colts took it on the chin from the Bills as a team in Week One’s 27-14 loss and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton took a blow to his knee that knocked him out of the game before the final whistle.

Colts owner Jim Irsay said after the game that Hilton suffered a bruised knee that would likely keep him out of the lineup for a couple of weeks, but sources told PFT that the injury wasn’t believed to be that serious and termed Hilton’s status as “day to day” regarding his return to the lineup.

Thursday was not the day that Hilton made that return. Hilton didn’t take part in practice with his teammates as they continued getting ready for Monday night’s home date with the Jets. The Monday night kickoff gives Hilton a little extra time to heal up, although continued absences from practice in the next couple of days won’t bode well for his chances of helping the Colts even their record.

The Colts did get cornerback Greg Toler on the field for Thursday’s practice. Toler missed the opener with a neck injury.
