Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne did not participate in practice on Thursday, according to Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star. Wayne is listed with an elbow injury, though the severity of the injury is unknown at this point. He wasn't practicing on Wednesday either, and his designation for the game on Friday's injury report will be telling.

If Wayne carries a questionable or doubtful designation, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Colts elect to give him the week off. He's not under-performing by any means, but he definitely looked less than 100 percent on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught four of the eight passes that went his way for 15 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Wayne is second on the team behind T.Y. Hilton, who is playing out of his mind at this point. Wayne has caught 38 passes for 434 yards and a touchdown. Hilton has caught 47 passes for 711 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy owners haven't had the production they're used to with Wayne, but he's been solid enough. But fantasy owners should pay attention to the injury report on Friday -- it's unclear what his status is at this point.
