Notes

  • TE Kylen Granson didn’t practice all week so he won’t have time to clear the concussion protocol. Expect rookie Will Mallory to be active in his place as the move tight end.
  • WR Alec Pierce was upgraded to a full participant during Friday’s practice, which bodes well for his chances to play despite the questionable tag.
  • RT Braden Smith will miss his second consecutive game after picking up a hip injury during practice in Week 6. Rookie Blake Freeland will make his fourth consecutive start and second consecutive start at right tackle.
  • DT DeForest Buckner and C Ryan Kelly received veteran rest days and should be expected to play.

Colts rule out two starters vs. Browns in Week 7

The Colts will be without two starters in Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out right tackle Braden Smith and tight end Kylen Granson on Friday ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Neither Smith nor Granson were able to log a practice this week due to their injuries so the fact that they’re ruled out isn’t much of a surprise.

Smith didn’t practice at all this week after suffering a hip injury during practice last week. This will be the second consecutive game Smith will be inactive for, meaning rookie Blake Freeland will once again get the spot start.

Meanwhile, Granson entered the concussion protocol this week after developing symptoms following the Week 6 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With Granson out, the Colts will lean on Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox while rookie Will Mallory should be active working in the flex tight end role.

Key players miss practice for Colts on Thursday as they prepare for Browns

The Browns and Colts are set to lock horns in two days, but Indianapolis may be without both Kylen Granson and Braden Smith in this game.

The Cleveland Browns are looking to advance to 4-2 on the season this week against the Indianapolis Colts after upsetting the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers a week ago. While they are a bit banged up in this one, unsure if quarterback Deshaun Watson or left guard Joel Bitonio will play, the Colts are also hobbled. Already without their starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, the Colts may also be without starting right tackle Braden Smith and tight end Kylen Granson.

Neither of those players practiced on Thursday for the Colts as they look to advance to 4-3 on the season. If Smith cannot go, expect fourth round rookie offensive tackle Blake Freeland to start at right tackle for the Colts, a player who has struggled this season when on the field. The Colts have two other healthy tight ends in Andrew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox if Granson cannot suit up.

Here is the full injury report of the Colts as they get ready to host the Browns.

Colts vs. Browns: Updated injury report for Week 7

Here’s the updated injury report for the Colts and Browns in Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-3) and Cleveland Browns (3-2) released their updated injury reports Thursday ahead of the Week 7 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Here’s a look at the updated injury report for the Colts in Week 7:

*DNP = Did Not Participate — LP = Limited Participant — FP = Full Participant*

Colts Injury Report

CB Tony Brown Back DNP FP
TE Kylen Granson Concussion DNP DNP
WR Alec Pierce Shoulder DNP LP
T Braden Smith Hip/Wrist DNP DNP

Notes

  • TE Kylen Granson remains in the concussion protocol and is a long shot to play. He still has time to clear the protocol, but if he doesn’t practice Friday, he won’t have a chance.
  • WR Alec Pierce returned to practice in a limited fashion so it will be vital to see how he responds Friday.
  • RT Braden Smith is trending toward not playing this week, which would be a big blow to the offensive line against a vaunted pass rush.
  • The Colts will release their injury report with designations Friday.

Here’s a look at the updated injury report for the Browns in Week 7:

Colts’ Kylen Granson in concussion protocol

Kylen Granson is in the concussion protocol.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson entered the league’s concussion protocol following Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6.

It seems to be a common theme for the Colts this season to have a player enter the league’s protocol following a game. Every week there this season there has been a player on the injury report with a concussion.

Granson is the latest player to be added to that list as head coach Shane Steichen said he reported symptoms after the game.

Only one player for the Colts has sustained a concussion in one week and was able to turn around and be active in the next week. That was tight end Mo Alie-Cox, who played only eight total snaps in the week following his concussion.

Every other player who has dealt with the injury missed at least one game. In the case of Bernhard Raimann and Ryan Kelly, they missed two games.

So Granson will be one to keep an eye on this week, especially considering he’s third on the team in both receptions and receiving yards.

Colts vs. Titans: Keys to victory in Week 5

Here’s how the Colts can beat the Titans in Week 5.

The Indianapolis Colts continue their homestand in Week 5 with an AFC South rivalry game against the Tennessee Titans.

The division is currently a very contested race. All four teams hold the same record entering this week and need a win to continue their push for the South’s best. The Colts, in particular, are looking to right the wrongs of several games past and break a five-game losing streak against Tennessee.

Here are the keys to victory for overcoming the prowess of the Titans:

 

The Colts celebrated Kylen Granson’s first touchdown with glorious photos of his bouncing baby ball

Sometimes a life milestone calls for proper photos, including a “bouncing baby ball.”

Tight end Kylen Granson of the Indianapolis Colts had 31 games of NFL experience to his name in his career, and not one touchdown to call his own … until Sunday.

The only problem: He didn’t get to celebrate it! His touchdown was only confirmed after review, bypassing a moment to celebrate. The Colts decided this would not do and lobbied for him to get another chance.

The result? You’ve got to see it: Granson had a hilariously glorious photo shoot for his bouncing baby ball, quipping, “After three years of trying .. it’s finally here.”

Understandably, his teammates, including starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, could not handle the levels of detail Granson went into to make his first touchdown celebration happen.

“Come on, man,” Richardson said with a crying emoji:

 

At Colts training camp in August, I asked Granson what his career had been like up to this point. He came back to me with one word: unique.

A “unique” career deserves a “unique” photo shoot. This is on-brand.

Carry on, Kylen. Don’t let the haters get to you.

Colts’ Kylen Granson added to injury report, questionable vs. Texans

Kylen Granson was added to the injury report and is questionable for Week 2.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson was added to the injury report Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is now questionable for the Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans, the team announced.

Granson was a participant in practice all week so it isn’t clear what caused the injury. Late additions to the injury report typically aren’t good news so this certainly will be something to monitor going into Sunday morning.

Granson was the clear leader in the tight end room during the Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He led the position in snaps, targets, receptions, yards and routes run during the opener.

With Drew Ogletree clearing the concussion protocol, his questionable tag was removed so he will play. If Granson can’t play, there’s a chance we see rookie Will Mallory active for the first time this season.
