Indianapolis Colts

Mo Alie-Cox

TE

Alie-Cox missed his second straight day of practice with an illness. It's unclear how long the 33-year-old will be absent from practice, but should he return Friday, there is a good chance he's available for Sunday's game in London. However, if Alie-Cox is unable to suit up, Drew Ogletree could see more tight-end reps behind Tyler Warren.

Ashton Dulin

WR

Dulin practiced for the first time since suffering an ankle injury that kept him out the past two games. While the 29-year-old split time on offense and special teams in Week 1, he could see more reps in the former capacity Sunday as a depth piece with Alec Pierce (heel, IR) unavailable. However, Keenan Allen (groin), Josh Downs, and Laquon Treadwell should still see reps before the eighth-year pro, although a downgrade on the part of Allen would bump Dulin up another notch on the depth chart.

Keenan Allen

WR

The veteran receiver was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to rest, but an injury played a part in his restrictions a day later. With that in mind, Allen may need to turn in a full practice Friday to approach Sunday's game against the Commanders in London without an injury designation. Allen is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 3, when he turned in a 6-63-1 receiving line on nine targets in a 19-17 win over the Texans.

Akeem Davis-Gaither

LB

DeForest Buckner

DT

Buckner was responsible for two of the Colts' three sacks on C.J. Stroud in Sunday's win. The veteran defensive lineman got to Stroud early in the first quarter for a four-yard sack before Buckner combined with Adetomiwa Adebawore for a two-yard takedown of the Texans QB late in the second quarter. Buckner has logged at least 0.5 sacks in each of the first three games of the regular season and is up to 3.0 sacks on the year, which leads the Colts and is tied for eighth in the NFL.

Alec Pierce

WR

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network had previously relayed last week that Pierce would avoid another procedure after aggravating his surgically repaired heel in a Sept. 20 loss to the Chiefs, but that report was called into question after the wideout was spotted Sunday moving around the Colts locker room with the aid of a scooter while he had a cast on his left foot. Apparently, Pierce is using the cast for extra protection and using the scooter to keep weight off the injured foot, which he hopes will accelerate the healing process. Pierce is without a timeline to return to game action, but he'll have to miss at least three more contests after landing on injured reserve over the weekend.

DJ Giddens

George Gumbs Jr.

LB

Riley Leonard

QB

Darius Slayton

WR

Josh Downs

WR

Downs garnered the most targets on the team, narrowly edging out tight end Tyler Warren (10), while his 77 receiving yards led the way for Indianapolis. With Alec Pierce (heel) sidelined for the foreseeable future, Downs appears to have taken command as the team's No. 1 option at wide receiver. Over three games to open the regular season, the wideout has reeled in 14 of 24 targets for 186 yards, and he'll look to secure his first touchdown of the season in Week 4 against the Commanders.

Spencer Shrader

PK

It looked like Shrader was going to observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines after he sustained a groin injury during pregame warmups. However, Shrader was cleared to attempt a field goal in the first quarter, and two of his four made field goals came from 50-plus yards, including a 53-yarder with 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Colts their first win of the season. Shrader has made all eight of his field-goal attempts (including three from 50-plus yards) and six of seven extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season.

Tyler Warren

TE

Warren failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season but set a new career high in catches while seeing plenty of involvement as a pass catcher in the absence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel), who was placed on IR after exiting early in the Week 2 loss to Kansas City. The second-year tight end is poised to maintain a prominent role when the Colts travel to London to face the Commanders in Week 4.

Daniel Jones

QB

Jones led the Colts to their first win of the season despite the absence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel), who was placed on IR earlier in the week. Tyler Warren (nine), Keenan Allen (six) and Josh Downs (five) accounted for 20 of Jones' 24 completions, including a six-yard touchdown pass to Allen in the second quarter. Ball security has been an issue for Jones, who has three interceptions and two lost fumbles through three games, but the Colts finally have something to feel good about, having notched their first win since Week 10 of last season ahead of a Week 4 trip across the pond to face the Commanders in London.

Jonathan Taylor

RB

Taylor racked up 25 touches as the Colts notched their first win of the season, but he failed to find much running room against Houston's stout front. He finished with a season-low 72 scrimmage yards and failed to score after opening the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances. The workhorse running back is averaging 25 touches per game heading into the Colts' Week 4 trip to London to take on the Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Taylor's poised for another busy outing in the overseas clash between 1-2 teams.

Laiatu Latu

DE

Latu left for the locker room in the first half due to a chest injury, but he was back on the field for the Colts in the third quarter. Latu has yet to record a tackle.

Charvarius Ward

CB

Ward tweaked his groin during the Colts' overtime loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. He drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South tilt following a DNP-LP-FP practice log, and the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play after going through pregame warmups. Cam Taylor-Britt will operate in a depth role behind Ward and Sauce Gardner for Week 3.

Anthony Gould

WR

Gould was elevated to the active roster for the Colts' Week 2 overtime loss to the Chiefs. The wide receiver played nine special-teams snaps in the loss, not touching the field for the offense. Now a member of the active roster, Gould will likely continue in his role as a special-teamer due to the absence of Ashton Dulin (ankle).

Laquon Treadwell

WR

Treadwell played 48 of the Colts' 65 offensive snaps due to the injuries to Alec Pierce (heel, in-game injury) and Ashton Dulin (ankle). The wide receiver also logged 17 special-teams snaps, stepping up for the team in multiple phases even though it ultimately fell in a close game.

Micheal Clemons

DE

Clemons sustained a toe injury in the team's 33-30 overtime loss against Kansas City on Sunday night, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests while recovering. His absence won't have a major impact on the team's defensive approach.

Seth McGowan

RB

McGowan saw just four offensive snaps in the contest, touchding the ball on half of them. The seventh-round rookie did not make a strong impression against the Chiefs' defensive line, but he proved useful on special teams with a 29-yard average on kickoff returns.

Austin Ajiake

LB

Anthony Richardson Sr.

QB

Richardson didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury but resumed practicing without limitations Thursday, suggesting the backup QB isn't in danger of missing Sunday night's game at Kansas City. Daniel Jones struggled in the Week 1 loss to the Ravens but remains locked in as the starter for the Colts.

Cam Taylor-Britt

CB

Taylor-Britt was forced to sit out Indianapolis' Week 1 loss to the Ravens, but he's now on track to be available for Week 2 at Kansas City. He figures to play in a rotational role in the Colts' secondary in 2026.
