Colts Activate Rookie, Captain from Injured Reserve for Titans Match
TheIndianapolis Coltsreceived a big update on two critical starters ahead of their AFC South clash with the 3-11Tennessee Titans. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (fibula/shoulder) and center Ryan Kelly (knee) are activated from injured reserve and will play tomorrow.
Injury Report Update: LB Jaylon Carlies (Fibula/Shoulder) and C Ryan Kelly (Knee) have been activated from IR and their Questionable designations have been lifted for #TENvsIND. CB JuJu Brents (Knee) remains on the Injured Reserve list and has been downgraded to Out.
The downside to the Saturday update is that second-year cornerback JuJu Brents (knee) won’t suit up. However, he wasn’t presumed to play; if he did, it would have likely been in a limited capacity for Gus Bradley’s troops.
Carlies is the best coverage linebacker for Indianapolis, posting a Pro Football Focusgrade of 82.0 on 41 coverage snaps. With E.J. Speed (knee) set to miss this contest, Carlies, and Zaire Franklin will be relied upon to anchor the second level of the defense. As for Colts’ captain and Pro Bowl center Kelly, he’ll play for the first time since Week seven against the Minnesota Vikings.
