Questionable for Week 13 Woods (shoulder/quad) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was back on the field Friday, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic, but the tight end's status is unclear as Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff approaches. Woods is coming off a Week 12 effort in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers, but that season-high output coincided with fellow tight end Kylen Granson (who has practiced fully this week) being sidelined by an illness. Given Granson's looming availability and the timing of the Colts' kickoff, Woods currently profiles as a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 13.

In line to practice Friday Woods (shoulder/quad) is slated to practice Friday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his looming practice participation Friday suggests that the tight end could play Sunday night against the Cowboys. With Kylen Granson inactive in Week 12 due to an illness, Woods logged 41 snaps against the Steelers, while catching eight passes on nine targets for a team-high 98 yards.

Still not practicing Woods (shoulder/quad) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods logged a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walk-through, so the tight end's absence from Thursday's session clouds his availability for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. On the plus side from the Colts' perspective is that Kylen Granson (who was inactive in Week 12 due to an illness) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.

Listed as DNP after big game Woods (shoulder/quad) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact The report is an estimation, as the Colts merely held a walkthrough two days after losing to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Woods was the star of the night for Indianapolis with eight catches for 98 yards on nine targets, though he apparently added a quad injury to the shoulder issue that caused him to miss the previous game. His big outing Monday came with fellow tight end Kylen Granson sidelined by an illness, and it's possible Woods sees his role diminished now that he's the least healthy of Indy's TE trio (Mo Alie-Cox being the third). On the other hand, Granson hasn't done a whole lot while getting most of the TE snaps in obvious passing situations this year, and Woods is a third-round rookie with 4.61 speed who just threatened 100 yards. He'll need to prove his health, of course, before he can attempt to build on the breakout performance Sunday night in Dallas.

Breaks out in prime time Woods caught eight of nine targets for 98 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Woods came in with just seven catches for 79 yards in his career, but he surpassed both totals in this game alone. The rookie tight end used his 6-foot-7, 265-pound frame to carve out space en route to team-high totals in catches and receiving yards. He also drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone in the third quarter. Woods will look to build on this breakout performance in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Listed as full practice participant Woods (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's walkthrough.

Impact Woods, who last saw game action Week 9, is trending toward a return to action Monday night against the Steelers, but as long as both Kylen Granson (illness) and Mo Alie-Cox are available, the 2022 third-rounder is a speculative fantasy lineup option. In nine games thus far this season, Woods has compiled a 7-79-3 receiving line.

Ruled out for Week 11 Woods (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Woods is usually part of a three-man rotation at tight end with Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, so the rookie's absence could free up a few additional opportunities for his teammates. He'll look to heal up in time to face the Steelers on MNF in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Thursday's practice Woods (shoulder) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Considering Woods opened Week 11 prep Wednesday as a limited participant Wednesday, his lack of activity Thursday represents a step backward. It's unclear if Woods was held out due to a setback or his absence was part of a pre-planned maintenance plan as he attempts to return from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for the Colts' Week 10 win over the Raiders. The extent of his participation at Friday's practice will ultimately determine Woods' odds of suiting up this Sunday against the Eagles. Even if he's cleared to play, Woods will likely be part of a three-man committee at tight end with Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson that would make it difficult to depend on him as an option in fantasy lineups.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Woods is back at practice after missing last week's win over the Raiders. His absence freed up a bit more playing time for Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, with the former taking advantage by catching each of his four targets for 57 yards. None of the three tight ends is likely to see more than three or four targets in any given game, even if one of the group is unavailable. It's unclear at this point if Woods will be ready for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play at Las Vegas Woods (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Woods was held out of practice this week with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 9 at New England, and he'll now be forced to miss his first game of the season as he recovers. In the rookie's absence, Kylen Granson should see an uptick in targets in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not at practice Wednesday Woods (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Las Vegas, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Woods was forced out of Indianapolis' loss at New England in Week 9 with a shoulder injury, and it now appears he's in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season with that injury. If the rookie were to miss time, sophomore fourth-rounder Kylen Granson would probably be in line for increased reps.

Exits with injury Woods (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, reports James Boyd of The Athletic.

Impact Woods caught one two-yard pass before injuring his shoulder in the second half, though details surrounding the injury are unclear. The rookie tight end's return is unlikely, with the Colts already down 26-3 late in the fourth quarter.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

No targets Sunday Woods did not have a catch or target in Sunday's loss to Washington.

Impact While Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, Kylen Granson had the most snaps on offense (32, compared to 29 for Alie-Cox and 15 for Woods), and all three went out on about the same number of routes (12, compared 13 for Alie-Cox and 10 for Woods). There were not any major changes in tight end usage, despite the change to Sam Ehlinger at quarterback. Woods remains third in the pecking order for playing time and has fantasy value only for the rare end-zone target.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Just one reception Sunday Woods had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

Impact Woods had about equal opportunity to the other two tight ends (14 routes, compared to 15 for Mo Alie-Cox and 18 for Kylen Granson), but the trio did not do much. None of the three tight ends were a factor Sunday with a combined two receptions and three targets, though perhaps they could get more involved with Sam Ehlinger taking over as the starting quarterback.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Has third touchdown Woods had two receptions for 27 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

Impact Woods had season highs in targets and snap share (38 percent) on offense while catching his third touchdown of the season. He played 31 snaps and went out on 24 routes, compared to Kylen Granson (31 snaps, 25 routes) and Mo Alie-Cox (28 snaps, 13 routes). While the three tight ends are splitting playing time, Woods and Granson appear to be trending upward, while Alie-Cox didn't have a target.
