Colts vs. Cowboys Week 9 inactives

TE Pharaoh Brown
LB Akeem Davis-Gaither
S AJ Haulcy
OT Charlie Heck
QB Riley Leonard
TE Will Mallory
CB Justin Walley

Davis-Gaither (knee) and Walley (knee) were ruled out on Friday. Haulcy (ankle) was downgraded to out on Saturday after popping up on Friday's injury report.

Heck is a recent addition, likely still getting acclimated to the new playbook.

With Brown and Mallory inactive, the Colts will go into this game with only three tight ends available.

Leonard has been inactive each game this season.
