Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, both players participated in practice today after undergoing concussion evaluations yesterday.
The Colts have dodged a bullet here.
As noted by Joel A. Erickson of the IndyStar on Oct. 14, "If either Goncalves or Tuimolaou are diagnosed with concussions, they will likely miss Sunday's game against the Titans. Under the NFL's concussion protocol, a player must complete five steps before returning to play, and there does not appear to be enough time to complete those five steps before Sunday."
Fortunately, this doesn't appear to be a concern at this point.
While losing either starter would be far from ideal, sidelining Tuimoloau would have created a bigger dilemma for Indianapolis.
The 23-year-old DE has logged eight total tackles (three solo, five assisted) and one pass breakup through his five games this season.
For reference, during his 2025 campaign, he registered 19 total tackles (six solo, 11 assisted) in 13 game appearances.
This marks his second season playing in the NFL after the Colts selected him 45th overall in the second round of the 2025 draft.
