Colts to start Sam Ehlinger with Nick Foles ruled out and other injury updates

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have one game left in their season, and it's about to be the Sam Ehlinger show.

The Colts will start their second-year, sixth-round pick at quarterback for the regular season finale against the Texans at 1 p.m. Sunday. That's because Nick Foles will miss the game with the rib injury he suffered on Kayvon Thibodeaux's hit last Sunday.

He is one of two players the Colts are ruling out for Sunday. The other is tight end Kylen Granson, whose season is finished with an ankle injury. Indianapolis also placed Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II on injured reserve with an ankle injury this week.

Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore will be questionable with a wrist injury that has kept him out of practice this week.

Indianapolis is playing out a disappointing 4-11-1 season that has seen coaches fired and quarterbacks benched with regularity. Ehlinger will make his third start of the season. He filled in last week and threw his first touchdown pass.
