Colts' Laiatu Latu: Won't play against Denver

Latu (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Latu gave himself a chance to play Sunday after logging a limited practice Friday, but he has not done enough during pregame warmups to be cleared to play against Denver. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, so he should be back for the Colts' Week 3 AFC South clash against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 21. Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis are the top candidates to start opposite Kwity Paye at defensive end in Latu's absence.
