Smith (concussion/neck) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran offensive lineman from Auburn has been a mainstay on the Colts' offensive line since entering the league in 2018, starting 105 games. Smith is now set to miss Indianapolis' next four contests, which means he'll be sidelined until at least the end of the regular season. In his absence, 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Travis is expected to start at right tackle.

Smith (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith sustained a concussion in the Colts' Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and was unable to clear the league's five-step protocol in time for Sunday's contest. Jalen Travis will likely start at right tackle in Smith's place against a fearsome Seahawks defensive front.

Smith (concussion) didn't participate in Indianapolis' practice Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith sustained a concussion during the Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return. If the 29-year-old ends up being unable to play Sunday versus the Seahawks, Jalen Travis would likely start at right tackle in his place.

Smith has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

With Smith done for the day, Jalen Travis will take over at right tackle for the rest of Sunday's game. Smith will need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be available for the Colts' Week 15 tilt against the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Smith (heel) was a full participant at practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was limited at practice Thursday due to a heel injury before upping his participation Friday. He won't carry an injury designation into the weekend, and Smith will be in his starting role at right tackle versus the Rams on Sunday.

Smith has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay due to a groin injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was hurt sometime during the first half. Though he's been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, it's not yet clear how severe the groin issue is or if the injury could threaten his status for Week 1 of the regular season. Smith has had trouble staying on the field in recent campaigns but is slated to be an important component of Indy's offensive line, as he's tabbed for the starting right-tackle role in 2025.

Smith (personal) agreed to terms Monday on a revised contract that will keep him with the Colts for the 2025 season, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact terms of Smith's new deal aren't yet disclosed, but the veteran offensive tackle will become a free agent in 2026. He had been set to count nearly $20 million against the cap prior to reworking his contract. Smith missed the final five games of the 2024 regular season for personal reasons, and injuries caused him to miss seven games in 2023.

Smith (personal) intends to play next season, but the Colts aren't certain to keep him on the roster, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith missed the final five games of the 2024 season while dealing with a personal matter, and he sat out seven regular-season contests in 2023 due to injuries. The offensive tackle has been an effective starter when healthy, and he's slated to account for $19.75 million against the Colts' salary cap next season, which is slated to be the final year of the four-year contract he signed in 2021. When discussing Smith on Tuesday, Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard stated, "We're supporting Braden, think the world of him. He's been a great player for us. We'll see going forward."

The Colts placed Smith (personal) on the reserve/NFI list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been dealing with a personal matter and hasn't suited up since Week 12. By going on the NFI list, he'll be required to sit out the remainder of the regular season. Matt Goncalves is likely to start at right tackle for Indianapolis the rest of the way.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Smith (personal) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will miss a second consecutive contest due to a personal matter. In his stead, Matt Goncalves looks set to start at right tackle once again. That could impede Indianapolis' ability to keep Anthony Richardson upright versus an imposing Broncos defensive front.
