We are where we are, and I think being realistic about where we're at is important. It has to be brutal honesty," Ryan said, via NFL.com.
Indianapolis tied last week with the Houston Texans.
The team will hope to have Shaquille Leonard back on the defense. Kenny Moore II was also dealing with a hip issue going into the game against the Jaguars but managed to play.
