Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will not play in Sunday's game against the visiting Buffalo Bills.

Pittman, 27, did not practice all week due to back and finger injuries and the team ruled him out on Friday.

He ranks second on the team in catches (30) and third in receiving yards (366) through nine games (seven starts).

Pittman was limited to one reception in each of the Colts' last two games, losses at Houston and Minnesota.

He has 366 catches for 4,028 yards and 17 touchdowns in 71 games since Indianapolis drafted him in the second round in 2020.

Josh Downs and Alec Pierce will be the top targets for Joe Flacco on Sunday as the Colts (4-5) host the Bills (7-2).
