Colts' Anthony Gould: Opens week with DNP
Rotowire
Gould (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Gould sustained a knee injury during the Colts' Week 8 win over the Titans, when he played 10 snaps (three on offense, seven on special teams) and logged 33 yards on two kickoff returns and 42 yards on two punt returns. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but if he isn't cleared to play, then Ashton Dulin would stand to take on most of the kickoff and punt return responsibilities for the Colts.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Works as No. 3 receiver
Rotowire
Gould took the field for 39 of the Colts' 60 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for three yards on his only target in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.
Gould moved into the No. 3 receiver role ahead of Adonai Mitchell while the Colts were without Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest). Gould likely will return to a special teams role as a return man once the Colts get one of Downs or Dulin back in the lineup.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Gould (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Gould has battled an illness the last couple of days and missed practice Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. If the wide receiver can't go in Week 4, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs would be top candidates to see an increase in workload on special teams.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Under the weather
Rotowire
Gould did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness.
The illness is a new issue, as the 2024 fifth-rounder did not appear on Wednesday's injury report. It's unclear how severe Gould's illness is, but Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Rams on Sunday. Gould has primarily served on special teams and has returned six kickoffs for 181 yards and two punts for four yards through the first three games of the regular season.

Rotowire

Colts' Anthony Gould: Plays eight games in rookie year
Rotowire
Gould caught his lone target for 23 yards while adding 206 kick-return yards and 95 punt-return yards across eight regular-season games in 2024.
Gould was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall. He got some reps with the first-team offense during training camp and had an impressive preseason, but he was a healthy scratch from Weeks 4-12 and mostly was used on special teams as a returner when he did play during the regular season. Gould will participate in offseason activities and look to earn a bigger role for himself on offense for the 2025 campaign.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Four receptions in preseason finale
Rotowire
Gould had four receptions for 25 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.
The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but had an impressive training camp and preseason that saw him get time with the first-team offense. He may have also won the kickoff return job and could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Making push for WR duty
Rotowire
Gould has been used with the first-team offense in the slot at times during training camp and has made a strong impression, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams, as he's also competing for the punt-return job (he was an elite punt returner at Oregon State). However, it looks like he could be in the receiver mix, which may have openings for playing time if Josh Downs misses regular-season games with a high-ankle sprain.

Colts' Anthony Gould: Added by Indy
Rotowire
The Colts selected Gould in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall.
Gould will join Adonai Mitchell as rookies in the Colts' receiver room, though Gould is far less likely to make an immediate offensive impact. He didn't break out until his fifth season with Oregon State, when he posted 44 receptions for 718 yards and two touchdowns. However, Indianapolis may have opted for Gould due to his skills on special teams, as he was an elite punt returner with the Beavers -- earning All-American and All Pac-12 Honors in 2022 after leading the nation with a punt return average of 18.3 yards.
