INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Colts will be without wide receiver Reggie Wayne against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Ben Zobrist Jersey .Wayne was initially listed as day-to-day with an elbow injury before being ruled out Friday by coach Chuck Pagano.Wayne has caught 38 passes for 434 yards and one touchdown this season. He was not available for comment Friday. Pagano simply stated he isnt ready to go.Its the second straight season Wayne will be unavailable for Week 8. His injury appears to be temporary this time around, though. Last season, Wayne tore a knee ligament in Week 7 and missed the rest of the season. Wayne injured his elbow last week against the Cincinnati Bengals after landing on it awkwardly.The Colts passing game should still be solid Sunday. Andrew Luck has targeted T.Y. Hilton 68 times, connecting on 47 of them for 711 yards and one touchdown this season, leading all Indianapolis receivers in yardage. Indianapolis also added depth this off-season by signing veteran Hakeem Nicks.Nicks has had a quiet season catching 17 of his 32 targets for 141 yards and just two touchdowns. However, with Waynes injury, Nicks could play a larger role in the NFLs No.1 offence Sunday.I knew the situation (coming into this season), but I knew I would have to have plenty of patience. But were winning and as long as we get these Ws everybody is happy, Nicks said. I look forward to every opportunity. Each week, I prepare accordingly like Im going to play, just like Im going to play this week.Running back Trent Richardsons status for Sunday appears doubtful despite being ruled questionable. He has been nursing a hamstring injury he suffered last Sunday and has not practiced all week.He has been doing rehab, Pagano said. The trainers have had him. They work him out and move him around. The only thing he hasnt done is practice. Each guy is different. Weve got a couple (running backs) that are more than capable.In 2013, Richardson failed to meet the expectations of a running back traded for a first-round pick, rushing for just 458 yards and three touchdowns on 157 carries in 14 games for Indianapolis. This season, he has rushed for 358 yards and two touchdowns on 101 carries in just seven games. But he still has not shown enough to take on the majority of the work load, splitting carries with Ahmad Bradshaw, who has 336 yards and one touchdown on 70 carries.If Richardson cant go, Indianapolis will likely lighten Bradshaws load with third-year RB Daniel Herron.It would be a great opportunity to show how hard Ive been working and show the coaches what I could do, Herron said after Fridays practice. I feel like any position the coaches put me in, Im going to go out there and take advantage of it to the best of my ability. Coach always says prepare like a starter, so thats what Ive been doing.Pagano also added that defensive back Darius Butler (ankle) and defensive tackle Arthur Jones (ankle) will play Sunday. Jones has not played since Week 2.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ;Wade Boggs Jersey . LOUIS -- The St. Wilson Ramos Jersey . -- Howie Kendrick had a two-run single in his first game batting leadoff this season, Chris Iannetta hit a pair of RBI singles and the Los Angeles Angels beat Cleveland 6-4 Tuesday night, sending the Indians to their fifth straight defeat.ARLINGTON, Texas - Robbie Grossman is finding his stroke, and the Houston Astros are benefiting from his new-found power. Grossman hit a two-out, three-run home run capped a five-run fourth inning, and Houston beat the Texas Rangers 6-5 in 10 innings Saturday night. The long ball comes two days after he snapped a 25 at-bat hitless skid with a two-run drive in Houstons win at Toronto. "You have to have confidence in your ability, especially in the big leagues," Grossman said. "This game is too hard not to." Jason Castro tripled with one out in the 10th, and Jose Altuve had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly to score the run that helped Houston end a 12-game skid against their state rival. Marwin Gonzalez, running for Castro, scored on Altuves fly off Rangers closer Joakim Soria (1-1). "That was a big, big, big hit for Robbie," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "He continues to swing the bat. I told him, It aint going to last for long (his slump). Just keep swinging." Michael Choice hit his first career homer in the ninth to tie it as Texas rallied in the eighth and the ninth to send the teams into extra innings for the second straight night. Kevin Chapman (1-0) allowed Choices tying homer but was the winning pitcher. Anthony Bass pitched the 10th for his second save. Texas put runners on first and third with one out in the ninth before Bass struck out Kevin Kouzmanoff and got Choice to ground out to first base. Shin-Soo Choo came into the game having reached base 12 of his previous 16 plate appearances but struck out all five times up, including with the winning run at second base with two out in the ninth. Houston starter Jarred Cosart shut down Texas after allowing three runs in the first four innings, limiting the Rangers to six hits while striking out a career-high eeight in seven innings. Lucas Duda Jersey. . "The knock last year was the walks were too high and the strikeouts were too low," Cosart said. "Its something I really worked on in spring training." The Rangers streak against Houston was the longest streak in the majors between any two teams. Texas has won 18 of 21 meetings over Houston since the beginning of last season, when the state rivals became intradivision foes with the Astros moving from the National League into the American League West. Tanner Scheppers, making his third career start since transitioning this season from short relief, was victimized by the big inning for the second time this season. "Its a step forward," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Its a learning experience." The Rangers pulled within one in the eighth when Alex Rios double off the wall in left centre scored Elvis Andrus with none out. But Rios was thrown out trying to steal third with Prince Fielder at the plate, and Texas didnt threaten again. "Sometimes you try to make things easier," Rios said, "and you make them a little harder." Texas scored five batters in but left two on in the opening inning. Cosart retired 10 of the last 11 batters that he faced. NOTES: Rangers GM Jon Daniels said the club is leaning toward placing 3B Adrian Beltre on the disabled list and should decide by Monday. Beltre has been sidelined since Tuesday with a strained left quad. ... Houston called up RHP Paul Clemens from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed RHP Scott Feldman on the bereavement list. Astros manager Bo Porter said Feldman, who pitched Friday after his father, Marshall, died Wednesday, could miss a start. ... Texas acquired RHP pitcher Hector Noesi on Saturday from Seattle for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
