Drew Ogletree - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Active against Jags Ogletree (knee) is active Week 8 against the Jaguars.

Impact Ogletree will get the go-ahead to suit up despite failing to log a full practice all week and even missing Friday's session entirely. The ceiling is likely capped, however, as he'll be competing against the likes of Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox for tight end snaps following the return of starter Tyler Warren (groin).

Chance to play in Week 8 Ogletree (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Ogletree's practice reps Wednesday and Thursday were limited by a knee injury that he likely picked up against the Vikings in Week 7. He was a DNP for Friday's session, but the Colts have left the door open for Ogletree to suit up Sunday, depending on how his knee feels over the weekend and during pregame warmups. Tyler Warren (groin) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence, but Ogletree's absence would mean more offensive snaps would be available for Will Mallory, Mo Alie-Cox and Pharaoh Brown.

Remains limited Thursday Ogletree (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Ogletree hasn't had a productive 2026 campaign, totaling three catches (five targets) for 16 yards. Still, if the knee issue prevents him from suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville, it could at least mean more snaps for Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox behind Tyler Warren (groin).

Dealing with knee issue Ogletree (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on the Colts' official injury report Wednesday.

Impact Ogletree presumably picked up the knee injury during Sunday's game at Minnesota, but his status indicates it's probably not too severe. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he could still avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Logs two catches against Minnesota Ogletree caught both of his passes for 12 yards during the Colts' 13-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Ogletree and the other Colts tight ends stepped into larger roles offensively for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin). Ogletree's 35 offensive snaps were second-most among Indianapolis' tight ends, and he set season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. He's mostly worked as a blocker on offense, and his snap count would be lower in Week 8 against the Jaguars if Warren is cleared to return for that contest.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full practice Thursday Ogletree (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact Ogletree didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but he has apparently avoided a serious injury given his return to full participation Thursday. The veteran tight end has just one catch on three targets for four yards through six games this season, as he's been primarily used as a blocker. Ogletree should be good to go for Sunday's battle against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Ogletree (ankle) did not participate at the Colts' practice Wednesday.

Impact Ogletree appears to have picked up an ankle injury during the team's 26-20 loss to the Titans in Week 6. The tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not limited Thursday Ogletree (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Impact The tight end was limited by a neck injury a day earlier. Ogletree is trending toward playing in Sunday's opener against Baltimore. The 2022 sixth-round pick has added depth to the tight end spot throughout his career, seeing action on special teams as well.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at practice Wednesday Ogletree (neck) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Colts will play the Ravens to begin the season, though it's unknown if Ogletree will be on the field for that contest. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Colts, most recently amassing four catches for 27 yards and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign. While Ogletree isn't expected to see much attention from Daniel Jones in Week 1, his absence could mean an extra target or two for Mo Alie-Cox.

MARCH 13 • COLTS.COM

Re-ups with Colts for one year Ogletree (neck) re-signed with the Colts on a one-year contract Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ogletree has recovered from a neck injury that landed him on injured reserve to finish the 2025 season. He's expected to continue filling a depth role and contributing primarily as a blocker after recording 22 catches for 283 yards and four touchdowns across 44 appearances over the past three seasons with Indianapolis.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Colts re-sign TE Drew Ogletree Ogletree, a 2022 sixth-round pick, has appeared in 44 games (20 starts) with the Colts in his career.

MARCH 13 • COLTS.COM

Ends 2025 on IR Ogletree finished his 2025 campaign with four receptions for 27 yards and one touchdown. The tight end suffered a neck injury in Week 17 against the 49ers that ended his season.

Impact Ogletree was a pivotal special-teams player for the Colts, logging 68% of snaps or better in every contest he played in until he suffered his neck injury. The 2022 sixth-round pick's injury came at an unfortunate time in his career, as the 27-year-old will enter 2026 as an unrestricted free agent coming off an injury.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IR The Colts placed Ogletree (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Ogletree will miss at least Indianapolis' next four games due to a neck injury suffered during the team's Week 16 loss to San Francisco. If the Colts manage to make a deep playoff run, the depth tight end could be a candidate to retake the field late January.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press

Out for Sunday Ogletree (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact The Youngstown State product opened the Colts' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after sustaining a neck injury in the Week 16 loss to the 49ers, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. Ogletree has appeared in 15 games this season, catching four of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown. Expect Will Mallory to operate as Indianapolis' No. 3 tight end in Ogletree's stead in Week 17.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as DNP to open Week 17 prep The Colts listed Ogletree (neck) as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Ogletree sustained a neck injury during the Colts' loss to the 49ers on Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in Wednesday's walkthrough, and the fourth-year tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's home game against the Jaguars.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits MNF with neck injury Ogletree (neck) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the 49ers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear when Ogletree sustained the injury, but he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Mo Alie-Cox will see a small uptick in offensive snaps at tight end behind rookie Tyler Warren for as long as Ogletree is out of the game.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Nabs touchdown catch in loss Ogletree had two receptions for eight yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

Impact Ogletree's performance came out of nowhere as he had just one target all season before Sunday. He played about his usual number of snaps on offense (11 of the offense's 51 snaps), so this may be an outlier performance. However, the Colts were coming off a bye week so there's a chance the coaching staff planned to make him more a part of the passing game going forward.
