T.Y. Hilton is active for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. Although Hilton injured his foot in a Monday night loss to the Carolina Panthers and was considered a long shot to play Sunday, Andrew Luck's top target will be out on the field.

Hilton, 25, was in a walking boot earlier in the week, but reportedly did some running on the side at a practice on Friday. Despite not participating even on a limited basis in any practice, Hilton was listed as questionable for Week 9.
The 2012 third-round pick has emerged as one of the premier depth threats in the NFL, and has 22 career receiving touchdowns in four seasons. In eight games in 2015, Hilton has 38 receptions for 621 yards and three touchdowns, although he has been targeted 81 times, fifth-most in the NFL.
No team has allowed fewer points, yards, passing yards or passing touchdowns than the Broncos, who managed to shut down Aaron Rodgers in Week 8. If Hilton is limited at all, the Colts will have to rely on Andre Johnson, Donte Moncrief and rookie Phillip Dorsett for production.
