Alie-Cox (toe) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis
Alie-Cox played through a hip injury in Week 16 against the Titans and finished with one catch (on two targets) for 15 yards, but it appears he may have picked up a toe injury in the process. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Giants. If Alie-Cox is not cleared to play, Kylen Granson and Will Mallory would serve as the Colts' backup tight ends behind starter Drew Ogletree.

Alie-Cox (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against Tennessee.
Analysis
Alie-Cox entered the weekend questionable to play due to a hip injury, but he'll be able to take the field against the Titans. It would have been unusual to see the veteran tight end sidelined on game day, as he hasn't missed a regular-season contest since 2020. Alie-Cox hasn't been a big offensive contributor this year, though, as he has recorded a modest 11 catches for 132 yards and 1 touchdown through 14 games.
Alie-Cox (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis
After logging a pair of DNPs to open the practice week, Alie-Cox was able to get in a full session Friday. The veteran tight end has played in all 14 games this season but has done little in the box score, accruing 11-132-1 receiving on 18 targets. He's well off the fantasy radar in a Colts offense that likes to use multiple tight ends.

Alie-Cox (hip) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Alie-Cox will miss a second consecutive practice due to the hip injury he managed to play through during the Colts' loss to the Broncos in Week 15. The veteran tight end hasn't yet missed a game this season, but across 14 appearances he's racked up just 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. Friday will represent the last chance for Alie-Cox to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans.

Alie-Cox (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis
The VCU product played through his hip injury in Indianapolis' Week 15 loss to the Broncos and failed to record a stat across 28 total snaps (22 offensive and six on special teams). Wednesday's DNP is likely an indication that the injury worsened Sunday, putting Alie-Cox in jeopardy of missing the Week 16 divisional matchup against the Titans. His likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play.

Alie-Cox (hip) was deemed active ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis
Alie-Cox was expected to play after popping up on the injury report with a hip issue Friday. The 29-year-old has logged 11 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown this season. He should continue to fill into the Colts' by-committee rotation at tight end alongside Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory.
Alie-Cox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but coach Shane Steichen said Alie-Cox will play, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis
Alie-Cox wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday. It sounds like he's avoided a serious injury, and the Colts expect him to be available versus Denver. The Colts like to use multiple tight ends, rendering none of them useful in fantasy outside of the deepest of formats. Alie-Cox has 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets across 13 games this season.

Return Date: December 29, 2024
Alie-Cox made two catches on two targets for 15 yards in the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis
Alie-Cox saw a season-best 34 snaps on offense and turned in his fourth multi-catch game of the season in the process. Although he's listed as No. 1 on the team's tight-end depth chart, Indianapolis' use of all four players at the position tends to spread out the snaps and targets. Alie-Cox and the Colts now head into a Week 14 bye and will return to action in Week 15 against the Broncos.
Alie-Cox failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
Analysis
Alie-Cox played 42 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, but the 31-year-old was not targeted by quarterback Anthony Richardson. The veteran tight end has now been held without a catch in eight of 12 games this season, providing little to no fantasy utility most weeks. Alie-Cox remains off the fantasy radar as the Colts visit the Patriots in Week 13.
