The Colts made tight end Tyler Warren a late addition to their injury report, but they won’t have to replace him in their lineup on Sunday.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Warren will play against the Texans. Warren was listed as questionable on Saturday because of an illness.
Pelissero reports that Warren has been dealing with a stomach virus.
Warren has not missed a game this season and the first-round pick has 55 catches for 662 yards and three touchdowns so far this season.
Linebacker Jayden Carlies is the only player the Colts ruled out on their Friday injury report. Their full list of inactives will be released at 11:30 a.m. ET.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk has parlayed one year of college coaching as an assistant into a head-coaching job.
Southern University has announced that it has hired Faulk as the school’s new head coach.
Faulk, 52, spent 2025 as the running backs coach at Colorado, with fellow Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.
A press conference has been set for Monday, December 1.
Faulk, the second overall pick in the 1994 draft, played for the Colts and Rams. He was the NFL offensive rookie of the year, a three-time NFL offensive player of the year, the 2000 NFL MVP, a three-time first-team All-Pro, a three-time second-team All-Pro, and a seven-time Pro Bowler. He won a Super Bowl ring in 1999 with the Rams.
He’s a member of the Colts’ Ring of Honor. His number, 28, was retired by the Rams.
Faulk succeeds Terrence Graves at Southern, which ended a nine-game losing streak on Saturday with a season-ending win over Grambling State.
The Colts made a significant addition to their injury report on Saturday.
Tight end Tyler Warren is now considered questionable to play against the Texans on Sunday. An illness is the reason for the change in Warren’s status.
Warren was a first-round pick in April and he has 55 catches for 662 yards and three touchdowns in his first 11 NFL games. Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, and Will Mallory are the other tight ends on the 53-man roster in Indianapolis.
The Colts also announced that they have elevated defensive lineman Chris Wormley from the practice squad. Wormley has played in 87 regular season games, but has not made an appearance yet this season.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup against the Colts on Sunday.
He was a full participant all week.
Stroud was injured in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Broncos. Davis Mills started all three games Stroud missed, and the Texans won all three to get back into the AFC playoff picture.
Safety Jalen Pitre (concussion) also will return after missing the past three games. He has no injury designation.
Defensive end Will Anderson Jr., who missed Thursday’s practice with a chest injury, returned to a limited practice on Friday and will play Sunday. He has no injury designation.
The Texans ruled out cornerback Ajani Carter (hamstring) and linebacker Jamal Hill (hamstring). Neither player practiced all week.
Colts quarterback Daniel Jones fully participated in Friday’s practice and has no injury designation, coach Shane Steichen said. Jones will start Sunday’s game against the Texans with a fibula injury.
“He’s good to go,” Steichen said, via Mike Chappell of Fox 59. “Having talked with doctors, we would never put him in harm’s way. He’s ready to go.”
Steichen would not confirm that Jones has a fracture in his leg.
Jones was limited on Wednesday but returned to full participation on Friday.
Jones said Thursday , via Stephen Holder of ESPN, that the injury was the result of “something that kind of was hanging over, and realized it last week. Just been trying to get treatment and make sure I’m in the best spot I can be.”
“I’m all good,” Jones said. “I’ll be ready to go on Sunday. Obviously, I was out there last week. I’m good to go.”
Riley Leonard is the team’s backup quarterback.
