Colt's Michael Pittman Out For Sunday's Game

Published|Updated

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out wide receiver Michael Pittman for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Pittman, the team's top receiver, has been recovering from a quad injury. He caught nine passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Houston Texans.

He is the team's top receiver and -- after running back Jonathan Taylor -- their second-biggest offensive weapon.
