The Indianapolis Colts' injury list remains long, as five active players were ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Jets and six more were listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest, hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game, and joining him will be tight end Jack Doyle (hip), defensive lineman Denico Autry (hamstring), safeties Clayton Geathers (concussion, neck) and right tackle Denzelle Good (not injury related). Doyle has not played since Week 2, while Geathers' injury could be serious, according to head coach Frank Reich. Good has been away from the team since the death of his brother in South Carolina last Tuesday.

Questionable for Sunday's game are tight end Eric Ebron (shin, quad, ankle, knee), center Ryan Kelly (calf), linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle), defensive tackle Margus Hunt (knee), newly signed safety Mike Mitchell (pectoral) and cornerback Arthur Maulet (hip). Ebron, who leads NFL tight ends with five touchdowns this season, practiced in full on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday.

Leonard, a rookie second-round pick, dressed last week because the Colts did not have 46 healthy players but did not play. He got in a full session Friday after being limited on Thursday. Leonard leads the NFL in tackles and is tied for third in tackles for loss (seven), two back of the league leader, Hunt (nine).

Hunt and Kelly each sat out Wednesday and Thursday before getting a limited session on Friday.

One player who will be playing is left tackle Anthony Castonzo, who will make his season debut after missing nearly two months with a recurring hamstring injury. Castonzo joined Leonard in dressing but not playing last week.

The Colts also placed safety Matthias Farley (shoulder, groin, wrist) on injured reserve, elevating tight end Mo Alie-Cox from the practice squad to fill his roster spot.

A former VCU basketball player, Alie-Cox was on the active roster earlier this season and notched one catch for 17 yards against the Houston Texans in his only game of action.
