Minshew was able to return to the game, but should he have to miss any time, Sam Ehlinger would step in. Ehlinger has not seen any playing time with the Colts so far this season.
Minshew has completed 65.2 percent of his pass attempts this season for 1,187 yards and five touchdowns with four interceptions.

Prior to suffering an injury, Minshew went 8 of 10 for 49 yards and a touchdown pass to Michael Pittman Jr. If Minshew is to miss any time, Ehlinger is the next man up under center.
Ehlinger threw for 573 yards with three scores and three interceptions last season. Pittman and Josh Downs will both drop a bit in the weekly fantasy rankings, while Ehlinger is the quarterback of the Colts.
