Pittman (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Even though reports earlier this week suggested that Pittman's back injury would cost him multiple games -- and potentially result in his placement on injured reserve -- the wideout's condition evidently improved quicker than anticipated over the past few days. After sitting out practices Wednesday and Thursday, Pittman returned to the field Friday as a full participant en route to taking a questionable tag into the weekend. With Pittman experiencing no setbacks coming out of Friday's practice, he's now on track to handle his usual role as the Colts' No. 1 wideout Sunday. With Anthony Richardson (oblique) inactive as the Colts' emergency No. 3 quarterback for the second week in a row, Pittman will be on the receiving end of passes from veteran Joe Flacco, who draws another start. While Flacco took the majority of the snaps under center Weeks 4 and 5, Pittman put together a 11-150-1 receiving line on 17 targets, well ahead of the production he turned in from Weeks 1 through 3 with Richardson directing the offense (11-88-0 on 20 targets).
