Colts’ T.Y. Hilton Still Hoping To Play Vs. Cowboys
By Evan Massey
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is still holding out hope that he can play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys.
T.Y. Hilton has been the Indianapolis Colts’ number one playmaker on offense, and his status for a huge Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is very much in question. He has been battling through a hamstring injury, and the Colts really need him available in order to play with the gameplan that has made them the most successful this year.

So far this season in 14 games, Hilton has put up 82 receptions for 1,345 yards and seven touchdowns. Those numbers show just how important he has been for Andrew Luck and the Colts’ offense.
According to a report from Colts’ beat writer Stephen Holder, Hilton currently has a 50/50 chance to play against Dallas.
Conversation with TY Hilton just now was really cryptic. I'm not sure how to feel after that. He said he feels "50-50." Whatever that means

At this point in time there are quite a few who aren’t expecting to see Hilton take the field, but he isn’t ready to give it up just yet. He will continue to do his best to push through the pain and play, but the Colts are going to be very careful with him.
If the Colts do want to win this game on Sunday, they are going to need their star wide receiver available. He is too big of a piece to replace, unless Donte Moncrief could step up and have a monster performance. Hakeem Nicks will also be asked a lot of on Sunday if Hilton can’t play.
