Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox cleared the concussion protocol and his questionable designation on the Week 6 injury report was removed, the team announced Saturday.
Alie-Cox made a quick turnaround this week after suffering a concussion during the Week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans. Assuming he’s active, Alie-Cox would be the first Colts player this season to play in a game immediately following a concussion.
Alie-Cox’s role has changed with the incoming coaching staff. He’s no longer considered the starter and has been usurped by second-year tight end Drew Ogletree.
Even so, he will likely remain as the No. 3 tight end if the Colts are comfortable putting him out on the field one week after sustaining a concussion.
In five games (three starts), Alie-Cox has recorded three receptions on five targets for 67 yards and a touchdown. He’s played 31% of the offensive snaps this season.
