Scott (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Scott was placed on injured reserve in early October due to a knee injury. His practice window opened in mid-December, but despite being a full participant in practice all week, the 2023 fifth-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. Scott logged two solo tackles across four regular-season games while contributing mostly on special teams and will aim to be fully healthy for the 2026 campaign.

The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice throughout the week, so his chances of returning in Week 18 to bolster the Colts' special teams unit seem high.
