Rodney Thomas II - Gets start at free safetyThomas started at free safety and had three total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
Ashton Dulin - Just two receptions SundayDulin had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
ImpactDulin played on 19 of the offense's 65 snaps as he has moved back to the fourth receiver role the past two weeks with Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce healthy. Dulin continues to outplay Parris Campbell, so it's possible he could be the team's third receiver before too long.

Chiefs do about-face after Colts letdown in blowout of Bucs
One week after Kansas City could do little right in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs could seemingly do no wrong in a blowout win over the Tampa Bay...OCTOBER 3, 2022•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jelani Woods - Just one receptionWoods had one reception for 33 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
ImpactCatching two touchdowns the week before didn't elevate Woods' role in the Colts' passing game, as he was third among tight ends in snaps and routes run and Mo Alie-Cox caught two touchdowns. However, Woods played 15 snaps on offense and went out on 11 routes (after 16 snaps and 12 routes Week 3), which bodes well for an increasing role.

Parris Campbell - Season-high four receptionsCampbell had four receptions for 43 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
ImpactCampbell nearly duplicated his output from the first three games (47 yards) combined. Despite his best game of the season, Campbell played on just 67% of the snaps on offense after playing 77% or more the first three games as the Colts utilized two- and three-tight end sets more frequently. Campbell may continue to have a smaller role in the offense despite his slight increase in production.

Kylen Granson - Four receptions in lossGranson had four receptions for 62 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
ImpactThe Colts played two and three tight ends frequently in the passing game against the Titans (a combined 11 receptions for 170 yards). Granson played on 29 of the offense's 65 snaps and went out on 17 routes which was behind Mo Alie-Cox's 45 snaps and 26 routes and similar to Jelani Woods' 15 snaps and 11 routes. Alie-Cox had two touchdown catches after Woods had two touchdowns the week before. Each week it seems a different tight end is the top option in the passing game, but the larger trend is the Colts may utilize their tight ends more in the passing game with the secondary receivers failing to make a big impressions (most notably Parris Campbell).

Chase McLaughlin - Misses late kick in lossMcLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.
ImpactMcLaughlin was elevated to the active roster for a third straight week, marking his final elevation before he needs to be signed to the active roster. The veteran kicker got the Colts on the board with a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter, but after making back-to-back PATs, he missed a 51-yard try late in the fourth quarter. Across three games, McLaughlin has made three-of-four field goals and all four of his PATs.
