Carlies has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
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.

Carlies is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a calf injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlies got the start at linebacker for the injured E.J. Speed (knee), but the former was forced to leave Sunday's contest after injuring his calf. Grant Stuard and Liam Anderson should see additional snaps at linebacker alongside starters Zaire Franklin and Segun Olubi while Carlies is sidelined.

EDGE Analysis
Carlies, the Colts' fifth-round pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, has split his time evenly between defense and special teams this season. However, he will get his first-career start Sunday alongside Zaire Franklin and Segun Olubi in Speed's absence. Carlies has accrued 16 tackles (nine solo) and one pass breakup through the first six games of the regular season.

Carlies (hip) missed practice Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Carlies is expected to transition to linebacker after playing safety in college, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
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.
