The Colts, meanwhile, promoted two former Patriots ahead of the game. Offensive lineman Atonio Mafi was signed to the active roster from Indianapolis’ practice squad while wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was elevated from the practice squad.

Creating turnovers will be key for the Patriots against the Colts. Last week, Christian Gonzalez delivered a game-changing fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out wide receivers Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin along with offensive linemen Tanor Bortolini and Braden Smith ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Downs will miss his third game of the season after suffering a shoulder injury in last week's loss to the Detroit Lions.
