Removed from active/PUP list The Colts activated Strachan from the active/PUP list Monday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Strachan began training camp on the PUP list after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but he's officially been cleared to practice for the first time this season. The 2021 seventh-round pick caught two of three targets for 26 yards across six appearances as a rookie and will look to carve out a bigger role in Year 2. At 6-foot-5, he could be another red-zone threat for Matt Ryan, but he'll likely have to compete with Dezmon Patmon and Keke Coutee for a roster spot.

Recovering from knee surgery Strachan underwent surgery on his knee this summer, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Although currently on the active/PUP list, Strachan is still expected to participate in training camp at some point. Once he returns, he'll battle for a depth role in a wide receiver room that features six other players with in-game NFL experience and a 2022 second-round pick.

Placed on active/PUP list The Colts placed Strachan (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Sunday, Chris Widlic of CBS4Indy reports.

Impact Strachan was absent from spring workouts due to the same issue, but the extent of it remains unknown. The 2021 seventh-round pick caught just two of three targets for 26 yards across six appearances last year and was set to have an expanded role in 2022, but he'll have to fight for a roster spot after missing so much time during the offseason.

Set to miss start of training camp Strachan is expected to miss the start of training camp due to an undisclosed injury, Kevin Hickey of the Colts' website reports.

Impact Strachan was absent from spring workouts due to the same issue, and the extent of his absence remains unknown.

Insider: Why rookie Colts WR Mike Strachan's potential didn't translate into playing time Strachan caught two passes for 26 yards and drew a pass interference in the season opener, but he was too raw to hold onto a consistent role...

Uneventful rookie season Strachan caught two of his three targets for 26 yards across six appearances during the 2021 campaign.

Impact Both of Strachan's receptions came during Week 1 against the Seahawks. The rookie saw only one target Week 2 before being a healthy scratch for 11 of the last 15 games, including the final eight. He'll still be under contract for the 2022 season, but behind Michael Pittman, the Colts' wideout corps could be in store for a facelift during the offseason.

JANUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch again Strachan (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Strachan will be in street clothes for the seventh straight game. The rookie wideout's chances of suiting up in the Jan. 9 regular-season finale in Jacksonville wouldn't seem to be promising, as the Colts could get Parris Campbell (foot) back from injured reserve for that contest.

Healthy scratch Sunday Strachan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

Impact Strachan was active for Week 9 but didn't see the field for Indianapolis. He caught two passes for 26 yards in the season opener, but even when active he hasn't been involved in the passing game since that contest.

Inactive for Week 6 Strachan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Impact Strachan had been active for each of the Colts' last two games but did not log any snaps. With the return of T.Y. Hilton, he'll likely find it even harder to find a role moving forward.

Marlon Mack, Mike Strachan are healthy scratches for Colts Mack had five carries against the Rams, and Strachan had played 52 snaps in the first two games.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • INDYSTAR.COM

No receptions despite larger role Strachan did not convert his only target into a reception in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Impact Strachan played 33 snaps on offense, the third most of any receiver, as he got more playingtime with Parris Campbell sidelined with an abdominal injury. However, he wasn't a big part of the game plan. Still, he could emerge with a larger role next week against Tennessee if Campbell remains out.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could see larger role Strachan could see an increased role Sunday against the Rams with Parris Campbell (abdomen) inactive for the contest, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Impact WIth T.Y. Hilton (neck) also joining Campbell on the sideline, Strachan should move into the No. 3 receiver role. However, DeMichael Harris, just called up from the practice squad, could also be a factor. The Colts may utilize their tight ends in the passing game more frequently as well.

Good to go for Week 2 Strachan (ankle) isn't on the injury report heading into Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing fully Friday.

Impact Strachan was limited in practice Thursday but quickly recovered from the injury. The rookie seventh-round pick will look to build on his two-catch debut against the Seahawks.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by ankle issue Thursday The Colts listed Strachan as a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Impact Thanks to T.Y. Hilton (neck) opening the season on injured reserve, Strachan earned a decent-sized role in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Seahawks. In the Colts' 28-16 loss, Strachan played 16 snaps as the team's No. 4 receiver and reeled in two targets for 26 yards. His mid-week addition to the Colts' injury report could indicate that he picked up the ankle issue during Thursday's practice session, putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams in question. The Colts will wait and see what Strachan is able to do at Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into the weekend.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two receptions Sunday Strachan had two receptions on two targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

Impact Strachan played 16 snaps on offense as he was the clear fourth receiver. While he wasn't too involved in the offense, both his catches were on third down, which could bode well for him to carve out a larger role.
