3) Remember all the depth . . . at the linebacker position? Well, it may get tested this week. MLB Gary Brackett has missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a knee injury and it doesn’t appear likely he will play. LB Freddy Keiaho appeared to struggle at times in preseason, but he played well last season at weak-side linebacker and some thought he was the team’s best linebacker last season when healthy. He started the past two seasons on the outside. Clint Session returned to practice Thursday after missing practice Wednesday with an ankle injury. If he can’t play, second-year veteran Philip Wheeler likely will move into a starting role. The best linebacker for the Colts this season perhaps has been veteran Tyjuan Hagler, who has made standout plays each of the first two weeks. He beat out Wheeler in the preseason. The Colts long have liked his talent and so far this season, he has been healthy.
