Carlies (lower leg) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie linebacker from Missouri sustained a lower leg injury in the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins and has missed all six of Indianapolis' games since. However, Carlies returned to practice Wednesday, opening the 21-day window for him to be added back to the active roster. Expect the 23-year-old to contribute on both defense and special teams once he's fully past his lower leg injury.

The Colts placed Carlies (lower leg) on IR on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Carlies will now have to spend at least the next four games on injured reserve as he works his way back from a lower leg injury sustained Week 7 versus the Dolphins. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a rotational role through seven regular-season appearances, and he's recorded 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed in that span.

EDGE Analysis

Carlies was injured last Sunday versus the Dolphins and didn't practice at all this week.

EDGE Analysis

Carlies left Sunday's game with what was initially reported as a calf injury. However, he has now been diagnosed with an ankle injury after being checked on by trainers, and the injury is severe enough for him to be ruled out for the rest of the contest. Grant Stuard and Liam Anderson will get snaps with the first-team offense for the rest of Sunday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

There were questions about Carlies coverage ability coming out of Missouri and entering the 2024 Draft, but his speed and playmaking skills still earned him a fifth-round selection by the Colts. Due to those skills, along with his ability to tackle, the transition to linebacker makes sense for the 22-year-old.
