Darius Leonard (illness) doesn’t practice on Thursday for the Colts

Per Zak Keefer of The Athletic, LB Darius Leonard was absent from Colts’ Thursday practice due to a non-COVID related illness.

Fantasy Impact: This makes two back-to-back practices missed for Leonard as he was dealing with an ankle issue on Wednesday. While it’s still unclear what Leonard is truly dealing with, two practices missed this late in the week have to put a slight question mark on his availability for Sunday vs the LA Rams. If absent, the Colts’ defense would take a big hit as they would be without their defensive captain and subsequently make life a lot easier for the Rams’ offense.
