Colts Confront Week 10 Roster Strain as Several Starters Miss Practice

Overview

• The Colts listed multiple starters as non-participants on Thursday practice including tight end Mo Alie-Cox, linebackers Jaylon Carlies and Akeem Davis-Gaither, long snapper Luke Rhodes, and offensive tackle Jalen Travis.
• Defensive end Arden Key practiced fully after being designated to return from injured reserve and cornerback Justin Walley plus safety AJ Haulcy also returned as full participants.
• The team signed veteran long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer to the practice squad to provide insurance for Rhodes’s hamstring absence and downgraded defensive tackle Jerry Tillery to out with a calf issue.
• CBS Sports reported that Jalen Travis is expected to miss two to four weeks, a timeline the Colts will use to adjust protection plans and backup reps along the offensive line.
• The practice report and short-term transactions continue a pattern of reactive roster management this season that increases short-term depth questions and will shape game-day snaps and week-to-week personnel decisions.
