INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Indianapolis Colts entered the weekend with a nearly spotless injury report ahead of Sunday's home matchup with the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium. However, a late addition on Saturday could cause them to alter their plans.
The Colts added tight end Tyler Warren to the injury report on Saturday with an illness, marking him as questionable vs. Houston. The rookie first-round pick is the Colts' leader in receiving yards (662), and is second in targets (74) and receptions (55).
Aside from Warren, the Colts' only other injury designation is linebacker Jaylon Carlies (ankle), who will not yet be activated from Injured Reserve.
Here is how both teams' health is shaping up ahead of Sunday afternoon's matchup.
The Colts held a walkthrough on Wednesday rather than a full practice, so Wednesday's injury report is an estimation.
FRIDAY
QUESTIONABLE — TE Tyler Warren (illness)
OUT — LB Jaylon Carlies (ankle)
If Warren is unable to go on Sunday (he's yet to miss a game), Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree will absorb most of the duties at the tight end position, while Will Mallory would likely be active for just the second time this season.
Carlies has been on IR throughout the season since suffering an ankle injury early in training camp. He has been a full participant in practice for two consecutive weeks.
On Saturday, the Colts elevated defensive tackle Chris Wormley to the active roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game. He'll revert to the practice squad after the game. He will provide the Colts depth in the absence of defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (neck), who is currently on IR.

WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
OUT — CB Ajani Carter (hamstring), LB Jamal Hill (hamstring)
Injury news all broke Houston's way this week, as they will get both Stroud and Pitre back from a three-game absence.
The Colts and Texans face off on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium on CBS.
