The Indianapolis Colts placed five players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including right tackle Braden Smith, the team announced Monday.

It was expected that the Colts would get hit with more COVID-19 issues after they had a semi-outbreak during Week 16. They had several starters miss the Saturday night game against the Arizona Cardinals because of positive tests.

The players that were placed on the list include right tackle Braden Smith, running back Marlon Mack, safety Jahleel Addae, cornerback T.J. Carrie and linebacker Malik Jefferson.

Depending on a player’s vaccination status, there is still a chance they can return in time for the game against the Las Vegas Raiders where the Colts will be trying to clinch their playoff berth.

If a player is unvaccinated and tests positive for COVID-19, they are out for a minimum of 10 days, which would certainly keep them out of game against the Raiders.
