Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren entered his second NFL season with expectations of an expanded role following a rookie year in which he recorded 76 receptions for 817 yards. Warren noted that the departure of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and the return of quarterback Daniel Jones from injury would provide new opportunities for the offense. During a joint training camp practice with the Atlanta Falcons, Warren sustained a groin injury during 11-on-11 drills. While he required ice and a wrap after limping off the field, head coach Shane Steichen and NFL insiders indicated the injury is not severe. Recent reports clarify the injury as an “abductor strain,” which is being viewed as a “best-case scenario.” Warren is expected to miss approximately one week of activity and is not anticipated to miss Week 1 of the regular season. As the Colts conclude training camp at Grand Park, the team prepares to face the Falcons in a preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium, with Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson expected to see quarterback action. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren expects quick recovery from groin injury Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren is expected to miss only about a week due to a minor groin injury sustained during training camp, easing concerns ahead of the regular season. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tyler-warren-receives-positive-injury-update-after-colts-practice-scare ### 2026-07-28: Colts tight end Tyler Warren gears up for expanded role in second NFL season Colts tight end Tyler Warren heads into his second NFL season after a 76‑catch, 817‑yard rookie year, aiming for a bigger role with returning QB Daniel Jones and opportunities opened by Michael Pittman Jr.’s - 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colts-tight-end-tyler-warren-gears-up-for-expanded-role-in-second-nfl-season --- Cite as: Tyler Warren injury and role with Indianapolis Colts.
