News

  • Receives second-round tender

    Alie-Cox received a second-round tender from the Colts on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old is a restricted free agent, and the Colts clearly want to retain him for 2021. Alie-Cox caught 31 passes for 394 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season. Any interested team would need to give up a second-round pick in order to sign Alie-Cox to an offer sheet, so he's likely to remain in Indianapolis.

  • Has career season in 2020

    Alie-Cox closed out the 2020 season catching 31 of 39 targets for 394 yards and two touchdowns through 15 games.

    Analysis: After his third campaign with the Colts, Alie-Cox will be a restricted free agent this offseason on the heels of career highs in receptions, targets and yards. His snap count has steadily increased along the way, but he had to contend with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton for work at tight end. Having said that, Alie-Cox had more receptions than both of his accomplished position mates this year. Burton's contract expires after the season, while Doyle is signed through 2022, so Alie-Cox may only have…read more

  • Snares one pass

    Alie-Cox caught his lone target for a 20-yard gain in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Three weeks removed from leading the Colts' tight end room in snaps, Alie-Cox finished as the clear No. 3 with just 23 snaps on offense, behind Jack Doyle (38) and Trey Burton (34). The 27-year-old tight end has produced fewer than 24 receiving yards in seven straight games.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox has been managing the knee injury for much of the season, but he hasn't been forced to miss a game since Week 6. With Alie-Cox returning to full participation at practice Thursday, he's now on track to be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers. The 27-year-old's playing time and usage in the passing game has been capped for much of the season due to the Colts' three-man timeshare at tight end, but both Alie-Cox and Trey Burton could be in store for expanded roles Week 16 if…read more

  • Limited to start week

    Alie-Cox (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox's bothersome knee has routinely capped his practice reps in recent weeks, but unless he's dealing with a setback, he should be able to suit up Sunday against the Steelers. If that's the case, he'll likely be sharing snaps at tight end with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton.

  • Snares two passes

    Alie-Cox caught both targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox produced the same exact stat line as Jack Doyle, while Trey Burton caught just one pass for eight yards. The trio of tight ends has just one touchdown over the past four weeks, and none of the players have produced more than 50 yards in a given outing.

  • Set to play vs. HOU

    Alie-Cox (knee) is active Week 15 against the Texans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox has been tending to a lingering knee injury that cost him multiple days of practice this week, but it won't stop him from suiting up as the Colts' third active tight end. The problem here is that Alie-Cox was out-snapped and out-targeted by both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton in Week 14, so there's no guarantee he's a notable part of the offensive game plan in this matchup.

  • Tagged as questionable

    Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Coach Frank Reich said Friday that Alie Cox's knee injury -- which has been lingering since October -- has been "nagging more recently." The 27-year-old tight end made his first appearance at practice this week on Friday, turning in a limited session. He'll likely be monitored closely leading up to game time. Meanwhile, position mates Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both have clean bills of health heading into the Week 15 matchup.

  • DNP for second straight day

    Alie-Cox (knee) missed a second consecutive practice session Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 the Fan reports.

    Analysis: The VCU standout banged up his knee during Indianapolis' Week 14 triumph over the Raiders. Though he was ultimately able to return and round out his workload at 20 offensive snaps, back-to-back practice DNPs shed doubt on the likelihood of Alie-Cox suiting up Sunday against the Texans. An output of eight combined receptions for 161 yards and one TD between Weeks 2 and 3 caught the eye of deep-league fantasy managers, but Alie-Cox has not exceeded 45 receiving yards in a game since that point.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Alie-Cox (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox missed part of last week's win over the Raiders after hurting his knee in the first quarter, but he later returned to the contest. Fellow tight end Trey Burton also missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, so Jack Doyle could enjoy some breathing room in the normally crowded Colts tight end rotation if either or both of Alie-Cox and Burton is unable to play Sunday against the Texans.

  • Back in action

    Alie-Cox (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: After leaving in the first quarter, Alie-Cox returned late in the second quarter and immediately caught a nine-yard screen pass.

  • Picks up knee injury

    Alie-Cox was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Raiders with a knee injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox exited in the first quarter. Jack Doyle and Trey Burton should handle additional reps for the time being.

  • Snags three passes

    Alie-Cox caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox out-snapped both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton for a second straight week, logging 44 snaps on offense (64 percent). That hasn't translated into much production though. In fact, he hasn't caught more than three passes or produced more than 50 yards in a game since his Week 2 breakout against the Vikings, when he posted a 5-111-0 line. His usage sets him on the right track, but it's often Burton who gets the looks in the red zone.

  • Just two receptions Sunday

    Alie-Cox had two receptions for 19 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox was out there for 38 of the offense's 74 snaps. He played the most snaps among the Indy tight ends, but he had fewer targets than Trey Burton (three receptions on six targets, including a touchdown). The Indy passing game utilizes all three tight ends, so Alie-Cox isn't going to get many receptions per week, and Burton has overtaken him as a red-zone target.

  • Just two receptions

    Alie-Cox had two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox played on 43 of the offense's 84 snaps. Meanwhile, Trey Burton played on 24 snaps and Jack Doyle played on 45 snaps. Alie-Cox went out on 17 routes, which led the tight ends. However, it's hard to depend on any of the trio's production with all three active in the passing game.

  • Avoids Week 11 injury designation

    Alie-Cox (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Though Alie-Cox didn't take part in Friday's practice, the fact that he's not even being listed as questionable for Sunday's game suggests his lack of activity to conclude the week was merely for maintenance purposes. Alie-Cox has seen an uptick in work over the past three weeks, playing between 42 and 66 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in those contests while hauling in nine of 11 targets for 99 yards. He could see his playing time tail off Week 11, however, as the Colts may have another…read more

  • Limited to start week

    Alie-Cox (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox has been playing through the knee injury for a few weeks now, so he's likely on track to play in Sunday's game against the Packers, barring a setback. If Jack Doyle (concussion) remains out, Alie-Cox should continue to split reps at tight end with Trey Burton.

  • Just three receptions

    Alie-Cox had three receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Thursday's win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox actually played more snaps on offense (46) than starter Trey Burton (37) and went on more routes (24 for Alie-Cox, 19 for Burton). However, neither tight end was a focus of the offense even with Jack Doyle out with a concussion.

  • Suiting up Week 10

    Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Tennessee.

    Analysis: A knee issue has plagued Alie-Cox for exactly one month, resulting in one absence Week 6. Otherwise, he's suited up in both of the Colts' last two games en route to six catches (on seven targets) for 80 yards. Alie-Cox may benefit from the team listing Jack Doyle (concussion) as inactive, but he'll still have to contend with Trey Burton for looks from Philip Rivers.

  • Deemed questionable for Thursday

    Alie-Cox (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report but is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: The Colts held three walk-through sessions this week in lieu of practices, with Alie-Cox going down as a non-participant Monday and a limited participant Tuesday before upgrading to full activity. As such, Alie-Cox probably has a better than 50-50 chance of playing than his questionable designation implies, and he could have a heightened role if he suits up with fellow tight end Jack Doyle (concussion) ruled out for the contest.

  • Limited work in practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: For the second straight day, the Colts didn't hold a formal practice, instead opting for a walk-through session. The fact that Alie-Cox went from a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate to a limited participant Tuesday can still be taken as a sign that he's trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Titans. Assuming he suits up Week 10, Alie-Cox should be in line to split the snaps at tight end with Trey Burton given the expectation that Jack Doyle (concussion)…read more

  • Begins week with missed practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox managed to play through his lingering knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, during which he caught all three of his targets for 43 yards, so it's easy to imagine that the Colts simply intend to allow the tight end a bit of rest on a short week. With Jack Doyle (concussion) trending in the wrong direction for Thursday's game in Tennessee, Alie-Cox could find himself handling increased opportunities alongside Trey Burton as long as he's able to suit up.

  • Cleared for Week 9

    Alie-Cox (knee) is active Week 9 against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox returned to action following the team's Week 7 bye, playing 32 snaps and seeing four targets -- his second-highest total of the season -- in that contest. The knee troubles did resurface a bit in practice this week, and he was held out of Thursday's session as a precaution. Alie-Cox will ultimately get clearance to suit up, but with both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton active as well, there will be a crowded position group contending for targets.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox logged limited participation in practices Wednesday and Friday and sat out Thursday's session entirely. Even if he plays this weekend, Alie-Cox could be at less than 100 percent health, and he'll be competing for snaps at tight end with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton.

  • Limited in practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox managed to play through his lingering knee issue during Sunday's win over the Lions, so barring any setbacks, he should be good for Week 9. Fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both scored versus Detroit, while Alie-Cox was limited to just three catches (on four targets) for 37 yards.

  • Three catches in return

    Alie-Cox (knee) caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox led Colts tight ends in receiving yards but was kept out of the end zone while both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton found pay dirt, giving Doyle and Burton a combined five touchdowns in the past two weeks. Even though he was the most productive of the three tight ends when healthy earlier this season, Alie-Cox will have a hard time carving out value in the Colts' three-man tight end rotation if he plays second fiddle in the red zone.

  • Returning to action Sunday

    Alie-Cox (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Though Alie-Cox's availability came down to a pregame workout, the Colts were evidently pleased enough with the health of his knee to clear him to rejoin the lineup. Since erupting for a five-catch, 111-yard performance Week 2, Alie-Cox has been limited to four receptions for 63 yards in his most recent three outings combined. He'll likely be limited to a bit role in the Colts' passing game with both Trey Burton and Jack Doyle seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order for reps at tight end.

  • Status hinges on pregame warmup

    The Colts are optimistic that Alie-Cox (knee) will play Sunday against the Lions, but he'll be put through a pregame workout before the team determines his status, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox is listed as questionable for the Week 8 contest after having been sidelined for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Bengals prior to the team going on bye Week 7. Assuming his knee provides no major complications during his pregame workout, Alie-Cox should avoid the inactive list, which the Colts will release approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he dresses for the contest, Alie-Cox will be stuck in a timeshare at tight end with Trey Burton and Jack Doyle.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Alie-Cox (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox hasn't suited up since Week 5 in Cleveland, but it looks like he has a fair shot to take the field against Detroit. With fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both healthy, Alie-Cox could be relegated to a limited role even if he does manage to play Sunday.

  • Still not practicing

    Alie-Cox (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox had the Week 7 bye to rest up, but he still hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to resume practicing. If he's forced to miss Sunday's game in Detroit, Jack Doyle and Trey Burton will split the reps at tight end.

    Alie-Cox (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Alie-Cox out, Jack Doyle and Trey Burton should both benefit from extra snaps at the tight end position against Cincinnati. The Colts will be on bye in Week 7, giving Alie-Cox two weeks to heal up before a Week 8 road tilt in Detroit.

    Alie-Cox (knee) did not practice Thursday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox has now missed back-to-back practices, putting his availability for Sunday's contest against the Bengals in jeopardy. If Alie-Cox isn't able to take a substantial step forward in Friday's final practice of the week, the Colts will proceed forward with just Trey Burton and Jack Doyle as starters at tight end.

  • Starts week with missed practice

    Alie-Cox (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: This isn't a good start to the week for Alie-Cox, who picked up a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Browns while also failing to record a catch. With Trey Burton and Jack Coyle back in action after previously missing time with injuries earlier this season, Alie-Cox likely won't be in store for a significant amount of snaps and targets if he shakes off the injury in time for this weekend's game versus the Bengals.

  • Nursing knee injury

    Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Alie-Cox will be monitored in practice due to a knee injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox was held catchless during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns (one target), and he appears to have picked up a knee injury during the affair. That the big-bodied tight end looks set to be evaluated in practice is at least a hint that his injury may not be significant, but an official update on Alie-Cox's health may not come until Indianapolis' first practice report of the week is released Wednesday.

  • Goes catchless in loss

    Alie-Cox failed to haul in his lone target Sunday in the Colts' 32-23 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Following his six-catch, 111-yard outing Week 2, Alie-Cox remained useful for fantasy managers in the subsequent two weeks, but his production mostly came on the back of touchdowns in both of those games rather than steady target volume. After failing to reach the end zone Sunday, Alie-Cox's fantasy utility unsurprisingly eroded entirely, and more games like these could be on the docket for the 27-year-old in the weeks to come.

  • Scores another TD

    Alie-Cox had one reception for a 13-yard touchdown on two targets in Sunday's win over Chicago.

    Analysis: With injuries at wide receiver -- Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman are on IR -- the Colts utilized three tight ends in the passing game against the Bears. Alie-Cox was a starter in a two-TE set with Jack Doyle. Alie-Cox played 33 of the offense's 72 snaps with Doyle playing 45 snaps and Trey Burton playing 36 snaps. It looks like all three tight ends will be active in the offense, but the setup likely makes Alie-Cox's fantasy value touchdown-dependent. Still, he's scored a touchdown in two…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Alie-Cox caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The Colts' passing game wasn't needed much in the big win, but Alie-Cox made his mark early with a one-yard TD catch in the second quarter for Indy's first offensive score. Even with Jack Doyle active, Alie-Cox had his second straight productive game, and the athletic third-year tight end could be emerging as one of Philip Rivers' favorite targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 against a Bears defense that's allowed a TE to find the end zone in two of three games to begin the season.

  • Excels in starting role

    Alie-Cox caught five of six targets for 111 yards during Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox stepped in for Jack Doyle (ankle) and led the team in receiving yards by a comfortable margin. He had the team's longest gain of the day -- a beautiful 33-yard reception -- and tied for the team lead in targtes. Alie-Cox's performance should earn him a role in the offense once Doyle is healthy enough to return, but with many other mouths to feed in the Colts offense, he shouldn't command an abundance of targets every week. His next outing will come Sunday against the Jets.

    Alie-Cox is expected to be the Colts' No. 1 TE in Week 2 against the Vikings following news that Jack Doyle (ankle) has been ruled out, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Frank Reich expressed his confidence in Alie-Cox to fill into this role, which is crucial in the Colts' TE-centric scheme. The 6-foot-5, 267-pound TE has experience, as he averaged 22.3 snaps per game in 2019, and he caught two passes for 20 yards against the Jaguars this past Sunday. Alie-Cox is an intriguing DFS tournament play, and the TD upside makes him viable in deeper season-long leagues.

  • Two receptions Sunday

    Alie-Cox had two receptions for 20 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: He played on 29 of the offense's 74 snaps, as he'll work as the No. 2 tight end while Trey Burton is on IR with a calf injury. While Alie-Cox will play a small role in the passing offense, he only blocked on one of the 21 passing plays he was on the field for.

  • Lifted from PUP list

    The Colts activated Alie-Cox (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Friday.

    Analysis: It's still unclear what Alie-Cox was dealing with, but the 26-year-old tight end will rejoin the team and start preparing for the 2020 season. The Colts let Eric Ebron walk in free agency but brought in Trey Burton, so Alie-Cox is slated to be the No. 3 tight end again this year.

  • Lands on PUP list

    Alie-Cox (undisclosed) has been placed on the Colts' Active/PUP list.

    Analysis: Once he's able to return to practice, Alie-Cox, who caught eight passes for 93 yards in 16 games last season, will look to secure a reserve tight end slot on the team behind Jack Doyle and Trey Burton.

  • Primed for more work

    Coach Frank Reich said Monday that he expects Alie-Cox to garner increased playing time as a blocker and pass catcher in 2020, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox is a unique weapon in Indianapolis' tight end corps, boasting a dominating 6-foot-5, 267-pound frame, and he appears to have earned a fan in Reich after spending his the last two seasons developing with the Colts. Jack Doyle and Trey Burton (hip) are early favorites to handle the majority of snaps at the position, but Alie-Cox's power and stature could conceivably lend him to red-zone utilization or even a handful of designed plays. After hauling in just 15 combined passes in his first…read more

  • Inks one-year extension

    Alie-Cox signed a one-year extension with the Colts on Monday.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox caught his only target for 15 yards in the season finale and finished 2019 with eight catches for 93 yards while mostly working as a reserve tight end. The 26-year-old appeared in all 16 games this season and currently lines up as the No. 2 tight end for 2020 behind Jack Doyle, since Eric Ebron (ankle) is headed for free agency.

  • Snags pass in win

    Alie-Cox reeled in his only target for a 21-yard catch during Sunday's 38-6 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox's grab helped set up Marlon Mack's second-quarter touchdown plunge, but it was just his second catch since Week 9. The sophomore tight end has just one game with multiple receptions this season, way back in Week 3 against Atlanta. He hasn't seen an uptick in production since Eric Ebron (ankle) headed to injured reserve and it'd be a surprise if he broke out against Jacksonville's 20th-ranked pass defense in the season finale Sunday.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Alie-Cox had one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Indianapolis didn't use many two-TE sets in a shootout with Alie-Cox getting just 16 snaps and Ross Travis having five snaps behind Jack Doyle (49 snaps). It doesn't look like Alie-Cox or Travis will be big factors in the passing game even with Eric Ebron on IR with an ankle injury and several other wide receivers sidelined.

  • No receptions Sunday

    Alie-Cox played 15 snaps on offense but did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: With Eric Ebron out with an ankle injury and several other wide receivers sidelined, Alie-Cox appeared poised for a larger role in the offense. However, Ross Travis got the start as the second TE opposite Jack Doyle and had three targets and more pass routes run (12 compared to three for Alie-Cox). Alie-Cox battled a thumb injury during practices last week, but it looks like Travis may get looks over him in the passing game despite Alie-Cox previously showing promise as a receiver.

  • Ready to rock

    Alie-Cox (thumb) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Titans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox battled a thumb injury during practices this week, but he worked without limitations Friday and is ready to retake the field. With Eric Ebron (ankle) now on IR, the 26-year-old could be in line for increased pass-catching work behind Jack Doyle.

  • Questionable Week 13

    Alie-Cox (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox sat out the first two practices of the week but worked as a full participant Friday. The 26-year-old has been dealing with the thumb issue over the last couple weeks but again appears likely to play through the injury.

  • Still dealing with thumb injury

    Alie-Cox (thumb) didn't practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: This appears to be routine recovery for Alie-Cox, who suffered this injury Week 11 but was able to play in last Thursday's loss to the Texans. It'll be important to follow Alie-Cox's progress, though, as he could be depended on for more pass-catching situations following Eric Ebron's (ankle) move to injured reserve.

  • Set for increased role

    Alie-Cox may have the opportunity to carve out a larger role on offense with Eric Ebron (ankle) set to land on injured reserve, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old has mostly been utilized as a blocker this season, having logged just five catches for 49 yards across 245 offensive snaps, but in Ebron's absence his role could expand. Alie-Cox's frame (6-foot-5, 267 pounds) suggests he could be effective in the end zone, though Jack Doyle figures to handle the bulk of receiving work at the tight end position for Indianapolis.

  • No targets Thursday

    Alie-Cox wasn't targeted during Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox suited up through a thumb injury for Thursday's divisional clash, but he was relegated to a depth role with both Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle active. The 26-year-old figures to play his usual role as a blocker against the Titans in Week 13.

  • Suits up Thursday night

    Alie-Cox (thumb) is active for Thursday night's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox might see some extra work in this one even with Eric Ebron (ankle) active, as Ebron missed a couple days of practice this week. Jack Doyle figures to see the bulk of the work ahead of Alie-Cox, anyway.

  • Questionable for TNF

    Alie-Cox (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Considering he wasn't limited in practice, Alie-Cox has a good shot to suit up for the divisional clash. The 26-year-old could have a heightened role in the offensive if Eric Ebron (ankle) is unable to play, but he'd still be behind Jack Doyle in the pecking order.

  • Turns in limited practice Tuesday

    Alie-Cox (thumb) was limited in practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: After an estimated DNP on Monday, it's a good sign that Alie-Cox was at least able to get some work in Tuesday. With Eric Ebron (ankle) sitting out for a second-straight day, the Virginia Commonwealth product could be in line for more work Thursday against the Texans.

  • Estimated as non-participant

    Alie-Cox (thumb) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox sustained the thumb injury during Sunday's win over the Jaguars and was unable to retake the field, so it's no major surprise to see he wasn't expected to practice one day later. Eric Ebron is also tending to an ankle injury, leaving Jack Doyle as the team's only healthy tight end.

  • Done for day

    Alie-Cox (thumb) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Alie-Cox picked up the injury, but the issue is serious enough to keep him out of game time. With the VCU product sidelined, Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle remain the only healthy tight ends on the roster for the remainder of the game.

  • Gearing up Sunday

    Alie-Cox (hip) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Despite not practicing all week, Alie-Cox is ready to rock for the divisional matchup. The tight end will mainly be used in a blocking role behind Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle on the depth chart, as Alie-Cox has been targeted just seven times over nine contests.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Alie-Cox (hip) is listed as quesitonable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox didn't practice this week but apparently still has a chance at suiting up Sunday. The 26-year-old has only one catch over the last four games, so the Colts' offense is unlikely to be significantly impacted by his potential absence.

  • Remains sidelined Thursday

    Alie-Cox (hip) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox hasn't practiced in any capacity this week, and he looks to be trending toward missing Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville. With Eric Ebron fully healthy and Jack Doyle (shoulder) having returned to practice Thursday, even if Alie-Cox were forced to miss any time, it wouldn't be a tremendous loss for the Colts' offense. The 26-year-old mainly contributes as a blocker for Indianapolis.

  • Injury concerns surface

    Alie-Cox (hip) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox has averaged 22.4 offensive snaps per game, and he mainly works in a blocking role, posting just five receptions for 49 scoreless yards. Jack Doyle (shoulder) also sat out of practice, so the Colts only have one healthy tight end -- Eric Ebron -- remaining. If both Alie-Cox and Doyle can't play Sunday against the Jaguars, the team may promote Ian Bunting from the practice squad to provide depth.

  • Catchless in loss

    Alie-Cox was unable to bring in his only target of Sunday's 16-12 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: The Colts were shocked by the Dolphins as Brian Hoyer got the start over Jacoby Brissett (knee). Brissett's status for Sunday against the Jaguars is undetermined, but it's unlikely that Alie-Cox will not get enough targets for it to matter much either way. The sophomore tight end has been targeted multiple times just twice this season and only twice since Week 5. Keep him on the shelf.

  • Catches lone target

    Alie-Cox caught his only target for an 11-yard gain during Sunday's 26-24 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Alie-Cox's reception on the first play of the second half was his first in four weeks. The Colts coughed up a halftime lead despite a solid performance by Brian Hoyer in relief of Jacoby Brissett (knee). Brissett is reportedly optimistic that he can come back for Sunday's game against a middle-of-the-road Miami pass defense. Given Alie-Cox's minimal usage this season, with just seven targets in 2019, the VCU product probably won't get much action no matter who is at quarterback.
