Indianapolis Colts' head coach Shane Steichen has ruled out two starters for Sunday's game against Dallas.
LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) and CB Justin Walley (knee) will both be sidelined. Neither player practiced this week as they work through their respective injuries.
Walley did not play against Jacksonville. In his place, Kenneth Harris and Kapena Gushiken each saw slot snaps. Without Davis-Gaither, we should see rookie CJ Allen wear the green dot. He made his first start last week.
With Akeem Davis-Gaither out, #Colts rookie CJ Allen will take over the green-dot duties and call the defense. https://t.co/BoY8lqD0Qs

released on Friday afternoon.
