Rivers' toe injury hasn't forced him to miss any games, but it's good news that his toe injury is improving. The Colts will need their starting quarterback at full strength if they hope to finish the season strong and enter the playoffs on a high note.

Castonzo, meanwhile, has started in each of his 10 appearances this season. A knee injury sidelined him for the team's Week 13 win against the Houston Texans, but it sounds like he's prepared to return against the Raiders. His presence should boost Indy's pass protection significantly.

The Colts enter their Week 14 games as 2.5-point favorites over the Raiders, according to FanDuel Sportsbook's NFL odds.
