Hilton suffered a hamstring strain early in Week 4 and the severity is serious enough where he remained “week-to-week”. Now he will be sidelined for a matchup against a Jets secondary without two of its top corners. As long as Hilton remains sidelined, Chester Rogers will likely remain Luck’s go-to receiver.
Doyle hasn’t played since he suffered a hip injury in Week 2 and was unable to practice this week. In his absence, Eric Ebron should continue to maintain his role as the top tight end in this offense.
