Bortolini (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Denver. A concussion caused Bortolini to miss Week 13 against New England, but Indianapolis' Week 14 bye gave the rookie center enough time to recover. With Bortolini set to return Sunday, Danny Pinter will likely return to a rotational role.

Bortolini (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Denver. A concussion caused Bortolini to miss Week 13 against New England, but Indianapolis' Week 14 bye gave the rookie center enough time to recover. With Bortolini set to return Sunday, Danny Pinter will likely return to a rotational role.
Bortolini (concussion) was a full participant in Indianapolis' practice Wednesday. Bortolini missed the team's Week 13 win over the Patriots due to a concussion but is now closer to making his return. If he manages to clear the league's concussion protocol, he will resume his duties as the team's starting center for Sunday's matchup versus the Broncos.
Bortolini (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. Bortolini entered concussion protocols following the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Lions, and he has not progressed through the league's five-step protocols enough to play Sunday. With Indianapolis on bye for Week 14, his next chance to play will be Week 15 against Denver on Sunday, Dec. 15. Danny Pinter will likely start at center Sunday due to Bortolini's injury.
Bortoloni is in concussion protocol following the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Lions, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. The rookie offensive lineman from Wisconsin has been starting in place of the injured Ryan Kelly (knee), but he developed symptoms of a concussion overnight after Sunday's loss to the Lions. If Bortolini and Kelly are unavailable for the Colts' Week 13 matchup against the Patriots, Danny Pinter is expected to get the nod at center.
Bortolini will start at center against the Steelers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Colts starting center Ryan Kelly missed practice Thursday and Friday due to a neck issue and has been ruled out for Week 4. Bortolini, a rookie fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin, will make his first NFL start.
Bortolini (toe) was left off the Colts' injury report Wednesday ahead of the team's Week 1 game against the Texans on Sunday. The rookie offensive lineman out of Wisconsin has been sidelined for the last couple of weeks due to a toe injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Now that Bortolini is back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Colts' top backup offensive linemen in 2024.
Bortolini (toe) did not participate at practice Tuesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Coach Shane Steichen downplayed the injury, saying Tuesday that he doesn't expect Bortolini to miss an extended amount of time. Until he's back, Mike Panasiuk could see more reps at center during practices.
Bortolini suffered a toe injury Saturday in the Colts' preseason win over Arizona, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports. Bortolini didn't end up returning after the injury, but he said after the game that he doesn't think the issue will keep him out long, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star. The rookie fourth-round pick is expected to be a backup on the offensive line during his first NFL campaign.
