Erik Walden

Walden is yet another Colts defender unlikely to play in a key divisional game versus Jacksonville on Sunday. With Walden almost assuredly out this week, Bjoern Werner is his likely replacement coming off of several inactive weeks in a row. Indy's defense should be avoided in all formats as there are just too many bodies not healthy for them.

Just standard procedure as Indianapolis prepares for the AFC Championship game this Sunday. Both players will be on the field against New England.

Walden had 36 tackles and six sacks in the regular season for the Colts and in their two playoff games has totaled four tackles with one sack. His limited practice participation was likely a precaution and unless he has a setback should be on the field Sunday against the Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

Given the importance of the Colts game this weekend it seems likely that Walden will try and give it a go as the Colts look to advance in the playoffs.
