Cross may have sustained the injury during the Colts' 38-14 win over the Titans in Week 8, when he logged just three tackles (two solo) while playing 80 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps. He has two more opportunities to participate in practice this week, and he would not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers if he were to log a full practice.

Colts' Nick Cross: Just three tackles vs. Tennessee
Cross recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Cross' three stops during Sunday's win marked his lowest total of the season. He also played just 80 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps, but that's likely a result of the second-half blowout.

He'll look to return to his usual tackling form in the Week 9 matchup against the Steelers.
