Colts TE Tyler Warren Exits Practice With Groin Injury
Aug 20, 2026
Warren goes down at joint practice
Colts tight end Tyler Warren suffered a groin injury during Wednesday's joint practice and did not return to the field. That's the extent of what's confirmed right now — no timeline, no severity, just an early exit from one of Indianapolis' key offensive pieces.
What it means for your survivor pick
Until we get a clearer read on the severity, treat Warren's status as a genuine unknown rather than a reason to panic or a reason to bank on the Colts. A soft-tissue injury this early can heal quietly or linger for weeks — and a groin strain on a pass-catcher is exactly the kind of thing that quietly saps production even after a player is technically cleared. If you were leaning on Indianapolis in an upcoming week, hold your entry and wait for the next practice report before you commit. Groin injuries have a way of turning into week-to-week question marks, and survivor is a game where you never want to burn a team on an offense that's suddenly missing a piece it planned around.
The smart move is to keep the Colts on your radar without locking them in. Line up a backup option and check back once we know whether this is a day-to-day tweak or something that costs Warren real time.
