Colts have good news on TE Will Mallory's injury
Colts got good news on TE Will Mallory's injury. But when he has been available in the past, it's been difficult to find him playing time.
Indianapolis - The Indianapolis Colts have some positive news regarding tight end Will Mallory's return from injury. The team has activated the 21-day practice window for Mallory, who has been on injured reserve since suffering a thumb injury in August. Mallory, who had a strong training camp as a receiving option at tight end, is expected to return to the active roster soon.
However, finding a spot for Mallory in the Colts' offense has been challenging, especially with the team's recent draft of Tyler Warren in the first round. Warren, a receiving-first option, has played the majority of the team's offensive snaps, averaging 90% throughout the 2025 season and 84% as a rookie. With Warren taking the majority of the snaps, Mallory's role has been further limited by the absence of Alec Pierce.
Mallory's skills in short and intermediate routes make him a potential asset if given the opportunity. However, his inclusion in the offense remains uncertain due to the already limited roles and the struggling performance of the offense, with quarterback Daniel Jones averaging only 5.7 yards per attempt.
