Colts Rookie TE Tyler Warren Returns to Practice, Adds NFL Rookie of the Week Honor

His limited return eased concerns after a toe issue sidelined him Wednesday.

Overview

  • After a Wednesday DNP with a toe injury, Warren practiced Thursday in a limited capacity as Indianapolis prepared for Tennessee.
  • Warren leads all NFL tight ends with 155 receiving yards on 11 catches through two games, with zero drops and strong yards-after-catch and contested-catch numbers.
  • The first-round pick has been a multi‑alignment fixture, logging 66 of 71 snaps vs. Denver and grading well as a blocker, expanding Shane Steichen’s play‑calling options.
  • Thursday’s report also brought good news elsewhere: WR Josh Downs returned as a full participant, CB Charvarius Ward practiced fully for a second day, and DE Laiatu Latu was upgraded to full.
  • Analytically, Warren ranks among PFF’s top rookies through two weeks (82.4 overall grade), underscoring his rapid impact in Indianapolis’ 2-0 start.
