DJ Giddens injury: status and who’s next up
Week 2 injury report
QuestionableKnee· Full practice
DJ Giddens is listed as questionable (knee) for Week 2. That designation means the team expects he is uncertain to play.
Next game: IND at KC, Sun, Sep 20, 8:20 PM EDT. Game-day inactives are posted about 90 minutes before kickoff and are the final word.

Where DJ Giddens fits in the Indianapolis Colts backfield
Jonathan Taylor starts and Seth McGowan is our published next man up. DJ Giddens sits further down the room, so his status matters most in a week when one of them is also unavailable.
Injury history
No significant reported injury absences since entering the league in 2025; his light usage (26 career touches) reflects Taylor's workload, not health. 2026 Week 2: added to the injury report Thursday with a knee issue and did not practice that day, then listed questionable vs. Kansas City (reports dated 9/17 and 9/18). No return timetable stated beyond the game designation.
