Dominant effort in Week 2 loss
Pittman (ankle) secured eight of 12 targets for 123 yards in the Colts' 27-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: A late-week addition to the injury report, Pittman shook off his questionable designation to pace the Colts in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon. Pittman likely derived some benefit from the absence of fellow wideout Parris Campbell (abdomen), and he quickly made up for a lackluster three-catch showing from Week 1 that cast some doubt on his ability to live up to his current de facto status as the No. 1 wideout in the team's offense. Pittman will look to build on the…read more

Cleared for Week 2
Pittman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Pittman was a late addition to the Colts' injury report after hurting his ankle in practice Friday, but the issue won't be significant enough to keep him off the field Sunday. The second-year wideout was on the field for all but two snaps in the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Seahawks, but he didn't see much volume in the passing game with three receptions for 29 yards on four targets.

Expected to play Sunday
The Colts are confident that Pittman (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Rams, despite him being listed as questionable on the official injury report, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter adds that the team wants to test Pittman in pre-game warmups before making a final decision on his status. Pittman, who was added to the injury report Friday after being a limited participant in practice, will likely operate as Indianapolis' top option on the outside Week 2 with T.Y. Hilton (neck) on injured reserve.

Questionable against Rams
Pittman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Pittman was a late addition to the injury report after being limited in practice Friday. He'll likely suit up and continue to start on the outside with T.Y. Hilton (neck) still sidelined. The 2020 second-round pick played all but two of the Colts' offensive snaps in Week 1 but had just three catches to show for all that playing time.

Just three receptions Sunday
Pittman had three receptions on four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Pittman played on 74 of the offense's 76 snaps as he took over the No. 1 receiver role with T.Y. Hilton out after neck surgery. However, he was just fourth on the team in targets as Indy's offensive line struggled to give Carson Wentz enough time to throw a deep ball. Wentz sustained 10 quarterback hits in the game. Because Indy's O-line is viewed as as strong unit, Pittman should improve if the unit bounces back and Wentz has more time to throw.

Could move into No. 1 role
Pittman is expected to step in as the Colts' No. 1 receiver for at least the first three weeks of the season with T.Y. Hilton (neck) headed to injured reserve after undergoing surgery Wednesday, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Even before he had the procedure to address a disc issue, Hilton was no longer the undisputed top option in the Indianapolis wideout room, but his absence nonetheless boosts early season target projections for Pittman, Zach Pascal and Parris Campbell. Given that he's locked in as a starter on the heels of a solid rookie campaign, Pittman looks like the upside play out of that group, though he profiles as a possession receiver more so than a big-play threat. He showed strength and elusiveness…read more

Role could expand
With T.Y. Hilton potentially in line to multiple games due to an upper back or neck injury, Pittman, Zach Pascal and Parris Campbell appear poised to head the Colts' wide receiving corps early on this season, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Also in the team's wideout mix battling for depth slotting are Mike Strachan, Ashton Dulin, Dezmon Patmon and DeMichael Harris. As a rookie, Pittman caught 40 passes for 503 yards and a TD in 13 games, but with Hilton now expected to miss time, the 2020 second-rounder has a chance to assume an expanded role with the team to start the coming season and in the process solidify his standing as a fantasy lineup option.

Snags one pass Saturday
Pittman posted one catch (on two targets) for seven yards during Saturday's preseason victory at Minnesota.
Analysis: Even with veteran T.Y. Hilton taking a seat, Pittman wasn't targeted by starter Sam Ehlinger until the first play of the second quarter, and his only catch went for seven yards. Meanwhile, all of Mo Alie-Cox, Zach Pascal, Parris Campbell, Nyheim Hines and even Farrod Green earned targets before Pittman. Pittman seems to be vying with Pascal and Campbell for slotting on the wide receiver depth chart, but Carson Wentz's foot injury has led to uneven quarterback play from Ehlinger and Jacob Eason,…read more

Headed for second-year breakout?
Colts GM Chris Ballard sees "breakout potential" in Pittman, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Analysis: Confidence in Pittman is one explanation for the Colts having a quiet offseason at the WR spot, despite having plenty of cap space and no clear No. 1 receiver. Granted, the Colts aren't putting everything on Pittman's shoulders, as they re-signed T.Y. Hilton to a one-year, $8 million contract, gave Zach Pascal a second-round RFA tender and still have hope that 2019 second-round pick Parris Campbell can finally stay healthy. Pittman, the 34th overall pick from the 2020 Draft, is the upside play…read more

Leading receiver in playoff exit
Pittman caught five of 10 targets for a team-high 90 yards and added an 11-yard carry in Saturday's 27-24 wild-card round loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Pittman racked up 102 scrimmage yards in the first half, but he also dropped a difficult but makeable catch in the end zone on 4th-and-goal late in the second quarter. He was a non-factor in the second half, losing one yard on his only catch. The rookie second-round pick topped 100 scrimmage yards only once in the regular season while reaching 50 in just three of 13 games, but hopefully Pittman will be able to build on this strong postseason debut heading into his sophomore season.

Just two grabs Week 17
Pittman (concussion) secured both of his targets for 28 yards Sunday in the Colts' 28-14 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: After clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol earlier in Week 17, Pittman handled his usual starting role alongside T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal in the regular-season finale. The rookie second-round pick wrapped up his inaugural campaign with 40 receptions (on 61 targets) for 503 yards and a touchdown. He'll look to continue his steady production in the postseason, beginning with Indianapolis' wild-card game in Buffalo on Saturday.

Cleared for Week 17
Pittman (concussion) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Pittman was deemed questionable Friday, but he has since cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol. The rookie second-round pick is slated to start at wide receiver in the crucial divisional tilt. Pittman hasn't produced big plays lately, as he's failed to post more than 50 yards or a touchdown in a game since Week 11.

Listed as questionable
Pittman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully both Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, the wideout still needs clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play this weekend. That said, Bowen relays that Pittman appears on track to receive the green light to play ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pittman (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Pittman was limited Wednesday, so his full participation Thursday would appear to give him a good chance of clearing the NFL's concussion protocol in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Friday's final injury report of the week will confirm whether or not Pittman heads into the weekend with any questions regarding his Week 17 playing status.

Opens week with limited practice
Pittman (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Pittman will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to participate in Sunday's must-win season finale against Jacksonville, but it's good to see him practicing in some capacity after sustaining the head injury in last week's loss to the Steelers. The rookie second-round pick appeared to be breaking out in November with three consecutive games over 50 yards, but he hasn't reached that mark in his five appearances since.

Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Pittman is in the league's five-step concussion protocol, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Pittman hauled in three of five targets for 38 yards before being force out of last weekend's loss to the Steelers due to the brain injury. He'll need to garner full medical clearance in order to suit up against the Jaguars on Sunday, with the Colts still competing for a playoff berth.

Tough outing against Texans
Pittman caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Pittman finished third among wide receivers in targets and receiving yards, as Zach Pascal and T.Y. Hilton both garnered six targets and recorded more than 70 yards. The rookie out of USC is in a bit of a cold spell, as he has caught more than two passes just once over the past four games, failing to surpass 50 receiving yards or score a touchdown in any of those outings.

Posts 45 scrimmage yards
Pittman caught two of five targets for 42 yards, adding a three-yard rush during Sunday's 44-27 win against the Raiders.
Analysis: The rookie posted two receptions of 19-plus yards during Week 14, but his fantasy production remains in a slump. Pittman racked up 14 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown between Weeks 9 and 11, but he's now been held under 50 receiving yards with no touchdowns over each of his past three outings. Workload remains consistent for the USC product, as he's attracted five-plus targets in five of his past six contests heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Texans.

Pittman caught all five of his targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Pittman finished second on the team in catches and receiving yards while tying for second in targets. His long gain went for just 13 yards, however, as he finished with a lackluster average of 9.2 yards per reception. Meanwhile, T.Y. Hilton enjoyed his best performance of the season and seems to be hitting his stride after playing second fiddle to Pittman in recent weeks.

Can't deliver despite opportunity
Pittman recorded two receptions on nine targets for 28 yards in Week 12 against the Titans.
Analysis: Pittman was the most-targeted wideout for the Colts, but he was uncharacteristically inefficient. Entering the Week 12 contest, Pittman had broken out across his last two games by converting 11 targets into 10 receptions, 167 yards and a touchdown. The entire Indianapolis offense was poor against the Titans, however, and Pittman will have the chance to bounce back in a positive matchup in Week 13 against the Texans.

He did the majority of his damage on a short reception, after which he subsequently weaved through the opposing secondary to find the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. His remaining two receptions went for a combined 21 yards, though Pittman continues to establish himself as a favorite target of Philip Rivers.

Career-best numbers in win
Pittman brought in seven of eight targets for 101 yards and rushed once for 21 yards in the Colts' 34-17 win over the Titans on Thursday night.
Analysis: The rookie was making his third appearance since a three-game stint on injured reserve due to a lower leg injury, and he turned in what was easily his best game yet as a pro. Pittman recorded a game-long 40-yard catch among his exploits while pacing all pass catchers on either club in receptions, receiving yards and targets.

His receiving yardage led the Colts on the afternoon, while his reception tally tied for second with T.Y.

Analysis: Pittman sat out Thursday's walk-through practice after being deemed to have been in close contact with a team staff member who tested positive for COVID-19.

Analysis: Pittman played 45 offensive snaps in his first action since Week 3 but simply didn't get much attention from quarterback Philip Rivers.

Analysis: When Pittman returns to the lineup will depend on how he responds to rehab, but the Colts hope he'll be back after the team's Week 7 bye. He could be placed on IR to open up a roster spot, and he'd still be eligible to return Week 8 against the Lions. With Parris Campbell (knee) already on IR, T.Y.

Slated to miss time
Coach Frank Reich confirmed Monday that Pittman underwent surgery to address a lower leg injury that the wideout suffered Sunday against the Jets, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Reich, Pittman was diagnosed with compartment leg syndrome, and the team's medical staff determined that the best course of action for the 2020 second-rounder was for him to undergo surgery to relieve the resulting pressure in his leg. As a result, Pittman is in line to miss several weeks of action, and in his absence there should be added pass-catching opportunities for players like Zach Pascal, Ashton Dulin, Daurice Fountain and Dezmon Patmon.

With Parris Campbell (knee) already in line to miss a number of games on IR, a significant injury to Pittman could have the potential to derail Indianapolis' aerial attack.

In fact, he tied for the team lead in targets, though apart from his long of 16 yards he only made smaller gains.

Shaping up to be game-time call
Pittman had an "incident" with his toe in Thursday's practice, and the Colts will use the remaining time before Sunday's game against Minnesota to evaluate his status, per coach Frank Reich, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: It sounds like Pittman will be a game-time decision after injuring his toe in practice Thursday. With Zach Pascal (ankle) practicing on a limited basis Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice entirely, the Colts are banged up at wide receiver behind top two options T.Y.

Analysis: Pittman played on 39 of the offense's 74 snaps, which was just behind third receiver Zach Pascal (46 snaps). While the 2020 second-round draft pick didn't put up big numbers in his debut, Pittman could overtake Pascal for a larger role in the offense before too long.

Pittman is listed as the No. 4 receiver on the Colts' initial unofficial depth chart.
Analysis: T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell and Zach Pascal are listed as the top three starters. Pittman was seen getting reps with the first-team offense in training camp, and it's thought he'll have a significant role at the start of the regular season, so Pascal's listing as the No. 3 receiver may be giving deference to a veteran. Still, it's unclear how quickly the Colts will integrate Pittman into the offense.

Pittman has also been learning to play better against press coverage, offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni told Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site.
Analysis: It's not surprising that the 2020 second-round draft pick is working with the first-team offense, but his usage with the starters consistently so far in training camp is a sign everything is on track for him to have a sizeable role in the Indy passing game. Pittman is a complete receiver who can run the whole route tree and can win jump balls on the outside. He should immediately push for a starting role in three-wide sets.
