Colts' Eric Johnson: Manages full practice Wednesday
Johnson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
After sitting out of Sunday's loss versus New Orleans, Johnson is trending toward suiting up in Week 9. Once he's healthy enough to play again, he figures to step back into a rotational role on Indianapolis' defensive line.

Colts' Eric Johnson: No go for Week 8
Johnson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Saints.
Johnson was able to work up to being a full participant at practice this week, but the ankle injury he suffered in Week 7 against Cleveland will now sideline him for at least one contest. In his absence, Adetomiwa Adebawore will be among those who see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

Colts' Eric Johnson: Questionable Sunday
Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Johnson was seen wearing a walking boot and using crutches after the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Browns, but he seems to be trending in the right direction to play this Sunday. The 25-year-old defensive lineman out of Missouri State was able to participate in full during Friday's practice after recording consecutive DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. If Johnson is unable to go this Sunday, Adetomiwa Adebawore is expected to see an increased workload as a rotational lineman on the Colts' defense.

Colts' Eric Johnson: Injures ankle
Johnson (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot and using crutches following Sunday's game against the Browns, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Johnson saw his most action of the season before suffering the injury. He logged 31 plays (43 percent) to go along with seven (23 percent) on special teams. It remains to be seen what his recovery timeline looks like or if he will be forced to miss any games. Adetomiwa Adebawore would be in line for increased snaps as a depth option on the Colts' interior defensive line if Johnson is indeed sidelined.
