Colts coach Frank Reich gave a variety of personnel updates Monday as Indy begins preparations for division rival Jacksonville. Right tackle Braden Smith is dealing with an elbow injury that the team originally thought was a triceps injury. Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is still in concussion protocol after suffering an injury late in last month’s loss to the Titans. Reich said he hoped Hilton could get back on the practice field this week. Hilton missed Indy’s win over the Jets, and has played in just two games this season due a variety of injuries. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes is day-to-day with a calf injury. Reich added the Colts have not discussed releasing running back Marlon Mack, who was a healthy scratch last Thursday against New York. The Colts are 4-5 and host the 2-6 Jaguars Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. Indianapolis is favored by 10.5 points over Jacksonville.
