Nelson was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He was able to walk off the field but needed the cart to get to the locker room.
The 25-year-old has already missed time this season after undergoing foot surgery during training camp. However, he was able to return in time for Week 1.
Indy's offensive line was already banged up before Nelson's injury, with Braden Smith out for a second straight week due to a foot injury.
Colts rookie defensive end Kwity Paye also exited Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and did not return.
The Colts are now 0-3 on the season with Sunday's loss to the Titans.
