Indianapolis Colts Cornerback Could Miss Week 13
The Indianapolis Colts could be without their star defensive back for a while. Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II was spotted at Wednesday's practice in a cast and on a scooter following a shin injury suffered in the team's Week 12 Monday Night Football 24-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Moore exited after 60 snaps on Monday. He has played 99% of the Colts' defensive snaps this season while also contributing on special teams. He has notched 65 tackles and four pass breakups in his 12 appearances this year.Kenny Moore II is in a cast and wheeling on a scooter at Colts practice.

At 4-7-1, the Colts are likely out of the playoff hunt. If they weren't, Moore's unavailability would likely expedite their exit. The Colts face the high-powered Dallas Cowboys offense this week on Sunday Night Football and find themselves 10.5-point underdogs. The Cowboys have scored 33.8 points per game since quarterback Dak Prescott returned from a thumb injury in Week 7.
Moore initially joined the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He appeared in 16 games as a rookie for the team and grew into a nearly every down starter in his second year. He continued to develop and evolve his game in the coming years before eventually earning a Pro Bowl in 2021 thanks to his four interceptions and 13 passes broken up. He has totalled 14 interceptions and 49 pass breakups over 87 appearances with the Colts.
