Injury updates for the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans show that tight end Tyler Warren appeared on the injury report with a groin issue after Friday’s practice. Warren was limited and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Reports confirmed the groin injury, with observers noting Warren’s grimacing during a red-zone rep as a point to watch this weekend. Additionally, wide receiver Ashton Dulin and linebacker Jaylon Charles have been ruled out for the game, and tight end Will Mallory is listed as questionable.
If Warren cannot play, the Colts would rely more on their other pass-catching options. Warren leads the team in receptions (36) and targets (30), with 213 receiving yards this season. He has also contributed a rushing touchdown and has been part of the offense in multiple formations. In Week 5 against the Steelers, Warren posted seven receptions for 83 yards and a rushing score.
The Colts’ depth at tight end includes Mo Alie-Cox, who has played in all five regular-season games this year. Alie-Cox has three receptions for 30 yards this season and brings veteran experience to the role. Beyond tight end, Indianapolis would look to receivers Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, and Laquon Treadwell to offset any absence at the position.
– Downs leads the Colts in receiving yards with 249 but has yet to score a touchdown.
– Allen has 18 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown.
– Treadwell has 11 receptions for 157 yards.
This game shapes as a pivotal test for the Colts as they aim to maintain momentum in a competitive AFC South division.
