Colts offense takes another hit as TE Tyler Warren picks up groin injury
Warren joins Alec Pierce as two important members of the Colts' offense dealing with injuries.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren is currently dealing with a groin injury, according to head coach Shane Steichen. The extent of the injury remains unclear, as Steichen did not provide detailed information. The tight end was seen leaving practice with an injury but later returned to watch the end of the session. The Colts had high expectations for Warren this season, as he was projected to play a significant role in their offense.
Along with blocking duties, he was also anticipated to contribute in the passing game, specifically by blocking opponent quarterbacks. Warren was the 14th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and played in all 17 games, starting 12. He caught 76 of his 112 targets for 817 yards and scored four touchdowns. The tight end injury marks the latest setback for Colts offensive players in training camp.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce recently signed a lucrative extension but had offseason surgery on his ankle and has yet to return to action. This has led to the signing of veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen, who played for the Chicago Bears last season and provided additional insurance for the passing game. As the Colts continue their preseason, the exact duration of Warren's absence remains uncertain.
It could be a few days of practice or potentially the start of the regular season, depending on the severity of the injury. For now, the situation appears minor but warrants close monitoring.
