Sitting out finale Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Granson (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Impact Granson will close out the season with a third consecutive absence, paving the way for Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox to split the bulk of the reps at tight end. A 2021 fourth-round pick out of SMU, Granson amassed 31 receptions for 302 yards and no touchdowns on 40 targets over 13 appearances during his sophomore season.

Misses another practice Granson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Granson missed the past two games and isn't likely to be rushed back for a regular-season finale Sunday against the Texans without any playoff implications. Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox have split snaps at tight end while the 2021 fourth-round pick has sat out the last two weeks.

Ruled out for Week 17 Granson (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Giants.

Impact Granson will miss a second consecutive game due to this injury, leaving Week 18 against the Texans as his last opportunity to make another appearance this season. Jelani Woods has led the Colts in receiving yards in both of the previous games that Granson sat out, so Woods figures to be the primary beneficiary of another Granson absence.

Not practicing Thursday Granson (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice and will be listed as a non-participant for the session, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Granson hasn't practiced in any capacity since he apparently picked up an ankle injury in the Colts' Week 15 overtime loss to the Vikings. Unless he can reverse the trend and get back on the field in some fashion Friday, he'll likely sit out a second straight game this weekend against the Giants. If Granson is sidelined Sunday, Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods would split reps at tight end.

Listed as DNP again Granson (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact The Colts are merely holding a walkthrough two days after losing to the Chargers with Granson (ankle) on the sideline. Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox split the snaps and routes at TE, with Woods getting a few more routes and tying for second on the team with five targets. It's possible the rookie gets more of the workload this Sunday at the Giants, considering he previously had a big game (98 yards) when Granson was out Week 12 against the Steelers. That said, Woods played less than two-thirds of snaps in both the games Granson missed, still sharing work with Alie-Cox.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Won't play Monday Granson (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Granson was unable to practice at any point during Week 16 prep due to an ankle injury, so the Colts' ruling on his status Saturday comes as no surprise. With the second-year pro sidelined for the second time this season, Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods will handle most of the TE reps for Indianapolis on Monday.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Granson (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice.

Impact After opening Week 16 prep with two straight absences from practice, Granson will have one final chance Saturday to get in some on-field work before the Colts decide whether he'll carry a designation into Monday's game against the Chargers. If Granson is sidelined Monday, it would condense what has largely been a three-man timeshare at tight end that also includes Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice with ankle issue Granson didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury.

Impact According to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, Granson was also a spectator Wednesday, when the Colts held an unofficial workout following last Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings. Despite the lengthier turnaround for Week 16, Granson hasn't yet moved past the ankle issue, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice leading up to Monday's game against the Chargers. If he's available to play Monday, Granson will be catching passes from his third different quarterback of the season, as interim head coach Jeff Saturday named Nick Foles the team's new starting signal-caller earlier this week.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in OT loss Granson caught both of his targets for 34 yards in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Impact Granson finished with one more target and two fewer yards than fellow tight end Jelani Woods. The 6-foot-7 Woods appears to have more long-term upside than Granson, who is undersized for a tight end at 6-foot-2 and has yet to score a touchdown in his NFL career.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Six targets in return from illness Granson was in the starting lineup at tight end and had four receptions for 19 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

Impact Granson returned after missing one game due to an illness and resumed his spot as the top tight end in the passing game. Granson led the tight ends in snaps, routes run and targets. However, he didn't gain many yards given the struggles of the Indy passing game. He doesn't have a lot of upside given that Indianapolis splits playing time in the passing game between Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods.

Full particant in walkthrough Granson (illness) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's walkthrough.

Impact Granson was inactive for Week 12 due to an illness, which led to a breakout game for Jelani Woods (shoulder). Now that Granson is healthy, he'll look to reclaim his spot as the Colts' top tight end against the Cowboys, especially if Woods (quad/shoulder), who didn't practice Wednesday, is unavailable for Week 13.

Inactive Monday Granson (illness) inactive for Monday night's game against the Steelers.

Impact With Granson out, look for Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods to handle the bulk of the Colts' tight end snaps in Week 12, with Nikola Kalinic in reserve. Granson will now target a potential return to action in Week 13 versus the Cowboys.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Now listed as doubtful Granson (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday night's game against the Steelers.

Impact Granson, who didn't practice this past week, had been listed as questionable, but with the downgrade to doubtful, the tight end is trending toward missing Monday's contest. If Granson is unavailable, the stage would be set for Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods to handle the bulk of the Colts' TE snaps in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question for Monday Granson (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Granson was absent from all three practices of Week 12 prep due to an illness, but the Colts will give him a bit more time before making a decision on his availability. If he's able to suit up Monday, he'll join Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods in a timeshare at tight end for Indianapolis, which so far has resulted in a 25-249-0 line on 32 targets for Granson this season.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Granson (illness) missed practice again Friday.

Impact Granson now has just one more chance to return to practice ahead of Monday's game against the Steelers. If the 2021 fourth-round pick is unable to suit up for the contest, Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods would be in line to handle the bulk of the Colts' available snaps at tight end.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as DNP on practice estimate Granson (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's walk-through.

Impact The tight end now has two more chances to return to practice before the Colts' final injury report is submitted ahead of Monday night's game against the Steelers. Through 11 contests, Granson -- who caught his only target for 16 yards in last Sunday's loss to the Eagles -- has caught 25 of his 32 targets for 249 yards, but he's been a hit-or-miss option of late, while working in a tight end time share with Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods.

One catch in Week 11 Granson caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Granson has yet to find the end zone in his second NFL season, nor has he carved out a consistent pass-catching role in the Colts' run-first offense. The tight end has been held to two or fewer catches in seven of 11 games heading into a Week 12 home game against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.
