Colts TE Tyler Warren suffers groin injury

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - August 4: Indianapolis Colts' Tyler Warren, wearing number 84, is seen during the team's training camp at Grand Park Sports Campus on August 4, 2026. Warren suffered a groin injury during Wednesday's joint training camp practice against the Atlanta Falcons.

According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, Warren's abductor strain is not a major concern, and he is expected to make a full recovery, with no significant time loss anticipated. Warren left Wednesday's practice during 11-on-11 drills but returned in uniform, albeit with a wrap and ice on his injured groin. He did not return to the practice field again, and it is likely he will be sidelined for Thursday's final training camp practice and the entire preseason.

The Colts avoided a potentially critical situation, as Warren is a key player for their first-team offense. He is expected to be one of the primary targets for starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Warren, a 2025 first-round pick, had an impressive rookie season with 76 receptions for 817 total receiving yards and 4 touchdown receptions, as well as a rushing touchdown. He is poised for a breakout 2nd-year campaign in Indianapolis.

Warren's return from this injury is significant, as the Colts' offense could be severely impacted if he were to miss more than a week. This news is a great relief for the team, especially given the potential for the absence of backup tight end Alec Pierce at the start of the 2026 regular season.
