Speed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Speed didn't play in Week 16 against the Titans due to a knee injury. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he managed to log a full practice Friday, which was enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. Speed will start at linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin and Jaylon Carlies while Segun Olubi, Cameron McGrone and Grant Stuard provide rotational depth.
Speed (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. After a pair of DNPs to start the week, Speed was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice. He missed Week 16 with the injury but appears to have a chance to play Sunday. Jaylon Carlies filled in as an every-down linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin in Speed's absence last week.
Speed (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. Speed will miss his second game of the season as the Colts take on the Titans at home. The sixth-year linebacker missed Week 7 against the Dolphins with a knee problem, and it very likely could be the same injury again. His next chance to see the field will be Week 17 versus the Giants.
