The Indianapolis Colts are in a tight battle with the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, but unfortunately, the game on the field has become overshadowed by the concussion suffered by running back Nyheim Hines, who has now officially been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Given all the drama surrounding Tua Tagovailoa over the past few weeks, hopefully Hines is being taken care of with proper procedure, but this is another huge blow on primetime, and will be a huge loss for the Colts.
This is a team already dealing with the loss of Jonathan Taylor and Shaquille Leonard before the game, and with both offence's struggling early, Indianapolis will need to change something up if they want to turn it around. Hines unfortunately won't be a part of that however, as new rules relating to concussions that have been implemented over the past week have forced Hines into concussion protocol, meaning they are down RB1 and 2 on the team.Colts RB Nyheim Hines has been ruled out due to NFL concussion protocol.

Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay will now serve as the Colts primary ball carriers, and while the game is still very important to both teams, the most crucial thing now is the health and safety of Hines, who will now be evaluated further and taken care of in the best way possible throughout the week.
