**JJ Stankevitz:** We'll see about Moore, who was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining that Achilles injury in the Colts' Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Colts didn't place Moore on injured reserve after – which would've sidelined him through at least Week 7 – and that indicated he would at least have a chance to come back by Sunday's game in Los Angeles. But that's not a guarantee he'll play. We'll learn more when Friday's final practice report of the week comes out.
We'll also learn more about the status of Charvarius Ward Sr. (concussion) on Friday.
As for slowing down Herbert, a few things here. A huge key will be efficiency on early downs and then creating pressure on third down – which is the case every week, of course, but against a quarterback as good as Herbert it'll be critical.
On first and second down, the Chargers' offense is 16th in yards per play (5.4), 17th in success rate (33.9 percent) and 24th in EPA per play (-.040); making sure Los Angeles doesn't out-perform those averages is step one to then create some third downs where the Colts can get after Herbert.
Yes, Jacoby Brissett hit some big-time throws on third down last week – specifically, the third-and-15 and third-and-17 completions he found for first downs. But when he was pressured, Brissett completed just one of four passes on third down and was sacked twice.
Herbert, when pressured on third down this season, is 9/20 for 85 yards with two interceptions and five sacks taken; just five of those completions have resulted in a first down. When he's not pressured on third down, he's 24/34 for 242 yards with one interception; 21 completions have generated a first down, tied for second-most in the NFL when not pressured on third down.
So, sure, the Colts' secondary could again be depleted on Sunday. But this is a game where the Colts' pass rush may need to help out the guys in the secondary by consistently effecting Herbert, especially on third down.
