Not targeted in win Granson failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

Impact Granson remains part of crowded tight end rotation, splitting snaps with teammates Mo Allie-Cox and Drew Ogletree. The 26-year-old Granson played 20 of the Colts' 66 offensive snaps, while Allie-Cox and Ogletree played 31 and 24 snaps, respectively. Through four weeks, the 6-foot-3, 242-pounder has just two catches for 49 yards. Granson remains far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 5.

Just one reception in loss Granson had one reception for nine yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Impact Granson played the most snaps of Indy's three tight ends (Mo Alie-Cox had 18 snaps and Drew Ogletree had 14 snaps), but the trio amassed just three receptions and four targets for 43 yards after no tight end had a reception in Week 1. With the Colts using a more vertical passing attack than last season, none of the Colts' tight ends may get significant targets.

Team's top TE heading into season Granson caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Bengals.

Impact Granson was the intended receiver on Anthony Richardson's pick six on the second drive, which was the result of a miscommunication between the quarterback and tight end. Despite that miscue, it was encouraging that Granson got the lion's share of playing time in the five possessions that Richardson and the first-team offense played, finishing as one of three players to catch multiple passes from Richardson. After leading all Colts tight ends with 368 receiving yards last season, Granson sits atop the depth chart heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Texans.

Leader in early TE competition Granson appears to be a the top of an unsettled depth chart at tight end after the first week of training camp, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact He's competing with Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox, Jelani Woods and Will Mallory for playing time. Granson was the most productive member of a crowded Colts tight end room last season, posting 30 catches for 368 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. However, the Colts split targets between three tight ends last year and that pattern could continue this season.

No receptions in win Granson didn't have a reception despite two targets in Sunday's win at Carolina.

Impact Granson returned after missing two games due to a concussion. While he wasn't a big part of the passing offense, he could take on a larger workload next week with Drew Ogletree leaving with a foot injury.

Listed as full participant Granson (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Indianapolis held a walkthrough rather than an actual practice Wednesday, but it's still encouraging to see Granson listed as a full participant after sitting out the team's previous two games due to a concussion. If he can officially clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before Sunday, Granson would be in line to rejoin a Colts tight end room that also features Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox against the Panthers.

Colts rule out TE Kylen Granson, two others vs. Saints Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson (83) practices receiving before facing the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Oct.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Ruled out this week Granson (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Saints, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Granson was inactive for the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Browns after sustaining a concussion Week 6, and he'll sit out another contest after evidently having not cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In Granson's continued absence, Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox should be in line to pick up most of the snaps at tight end.

Returns to practice Granson (concussion) returned to practice Friday in a non-contact jersey, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Granson is taking part in practice for the first time since suffering a concussion late in a Week 6 loss to the Jaguars. While Granson was sidelined for last week's 39-38 loss to Cleveland, the Colts mostly used Drew Ogletree as their tight end for clear passing situations.

Remains sidelined Thursday Granson (concussion) isn't practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Granson also missed Wednesday's session, which sets the stage for Friday's practice to loom large with regard to the tight end's chances of playing Sunday against the Saints. He didn't practice at all last week before being made inactive for the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Browns.

Not practicing Granson (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Granson didn't practice at all last week and ended up sitting out Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Browns. In his absence, Drew Ogletree picked up most of the snaps at tight end in passing situations but didn't draw any targets. If Granson misses another game this Sunday against New Orleans, more work would be left available for some combination of Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Coach Shane Steichen noted Friday that Granson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Browns, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Granson unavailable this weekend, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox are slated to handle the Colts' Week 7 tight end duties. Granson now will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 29 against the Saints.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Friday Granson (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Granson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, either, and thus is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Browns. If Granson is ruled out later Friday, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox would be in line to handle the Colts' Week 7 tight end duties.

Not practicing Granson (concussion) isn't practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Granson has missed consecutive practices since entering concussion protocol after Sunday's 37-20 loss to Jacksonville. An absence for Sunday's matchup with Cleveland would leave more playing time for some combination of Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox. The closest match in terms of skill set is Mallory, who has taken 10 of his 20 snaps in the slot this year, whereas Ogletree and Alie-Cox have gotten far more playing time but predominantly as in-line tight ends (84.1 percent of snaps inline for Ogletree, 90.1 percent for Alie-Cox).
