The Colts on Wednesday opened the 21-day practice windows for center Ryan Kelly and linebacker Jaylon Carlies, head coach Shane Steichen said.
Both players are eligible to participate in practice beginning Wednesday, and Kelly and/or Carlies can be activated from injured reserve at any point in the next three weeks.
Kelly was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 5 with a knee injury. The 31-year-old Kelly – the longest-tenured member of the Colts and a four-time Pro Bowler – has started seven games in 2024, allowing just one sack in 222 pass blocking snaps, per Pro Football Focus.
Carlies, a 2024 fifth-round pick, sustained a fibula injury in Week 7 and was placed on injured reserve Oct. 26. Over seven games (three starts), Carlies has 21 tackles, one tackle for a loss, one sack and one pass break-up.
Kelly was listed as a limited participant while Carlies fully participated in Wednesday's practice.
Wide receiver Josh Downs, who missed the Colts' Week 13 win over the New England Patriots with a shoulder injury, was limited on Wednesday. Downs, despite missing three games this season, leads the Colts with 53 receptions and is second in targets (78), yards (594) and touchdowns (four).
WR | Targets | Receptions | Yards | TDs |
---|---|---|---|---|
Michael Pittman Jr. | 79 | 46 | 550 | 2 |
Josh Downs | 78 | 53 | 594 | 4 |
Alec Pierce | 54 | 29 | 645 | 5 |
Adonai Mitchell | 45 | 20 | 254 | 0 |
Ashton Dulin | 8 | 2 | 67 | 1 |
The Indianapolis Colts return to practice at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center on Wednesday for the start of Week 15 practice.
