Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will miss Week 9 and likely more with a calf injury he suffered in practice two days ago, head coach Frank Reich said Friday.

"With the information that we have, generally speaking, it's a three-to-four week injury," Reich told reporters, including Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Hilton, a four-time Pro Bowler, leads the Colts in receiving with 360 yards and five touchdowns. Indianapolis has gone 0-5 in games without Hilton since he entered the league in 2012.

The Colts entered November atop a tight AFC South race. Two of their next four games will come against division opponents.

Indianapolis is no stranger to calf injuries. The same type of ailment lingered and sidelined Andrew Luck throughout the summer, eventually trickling down to his ankle and leading to his abrupt retirement.
