Tyquan Lewis had a toe injury that just wouldn't go away and was placed on injured reserve at the start of the regular season. Jack Doyle had injured his hip in the Indianapolis Colts' win against the Washington Redskins in Week 2 and been out since.

Both returned to practice Wednesday in an important step for each to suit up for the Indianapolis Colts in game action.

Lewis, a defensive end, was a second-round pick for the Colts out of Ohio State in the 2018 NFL Draft. He appeared poised to fit in well with General Manager Chris Ballard's vision for the team before the injury bug struck.

The Colts have 21 days to decide whether or not they want to place him back on injured reserve.

Doyle made nine receptions for 80 yards before his stretch of five-straight missed games began. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl last season.

There is nothing new with regards to Adam Vinatieri's status. He's been dealing with a groin issue.
