“He was experiencing some discomfort during the trip to Detroit ,” Reich said.
Hilton, like many of the Colts starters, did not play in the preseason finale against the Lions on Aug.
Hilton, I mean him missing games — all right that’s an obvious big blow because he is not only a great player, but he’s a great leader,” Reich said.
Hilton led the Colts in receiving yards with 762 last season and tied for the team lead with five touchdown catches.
The good news for the Colts is that Reich said Wentz and guard Quenton Nelson are at the stage in their returns from foot injuries where they can take part in full team drills.
“Part of the litmus test, with Quenton and Carson in particular, they need to be, as Chris and I talked about this, they need to be ready to go Wednesday,” Reich said.
