Alie-Cox re-signed with the Colts on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox will return to Indianapolis for his eighth NFL season, having spent the previous seven with the Colts. His blocking ability has earned Alie-Cox steady playing time in what has been an underwhelming tight-end room in recent years, but he has fallen short of 200 receiving yards in each of the past three regular seasons.

Alie-Cox secured 12 of 22 targets for 147 yards and one touchdown across 17 regular-season games.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox has suited up for all 17 regular-season games in four consecutive years, playing a consistent and reliable blocking role for the Colts, though his involvement in the passing game continues to decline. The 31-year-old veteran is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent, and if Indianapolis intends to re-sign a potential departure at the tight end position, Kylen Granson could be a higher priority.

Alie-Cox (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox took a questionable tag into the weekend, but the Colts never seemed to have much concern about his availability after he followed up missed practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday. He'll be one of three tight ends active Sunday in what will likely be a committee approach at the position, as none of Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree or Kylen Granson has played more than two-thirds of the snaps in any game this season.

Alie-Cox (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox had previously dealt with a hip injury that limited his practice reps in recent weeks. The toe issue is new, but Alie-Cox logged a full practice Friday after a pair of DNPs to open the week. He's been following this same regimen for a couple weeks now and has yet to miss a contest this season. Alie-Cox has 12 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown this season.

Alie-Cox (toe) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox played through a hip injury in Week 16 against the Titans and finished with one catch (on two targets) for 15 yards, but it appears he may have picked up a toe injury in the process. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Giants. If Alie-Cox is not cleared to play, Kylen Granson and Will Mallory would serve as the Colts' backup tight ends behind starter Drew Ogletree.

Alie-Cox (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox entered the weekend questionable to play due to a hip injury, but he'll be able to take the field against the Titans. It would have been unusual to see the veteran tight end sidelined on game day, as he hasn't missed a regular-season contest since 2020. Alie-Cox hasn't been a big offensive contributor this year, though, as he has recorded a modest 11 catches for 132 yards and 1 touchdown through 14 games.

Alie-Cox (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

After logging a pair of DNPs to open the practice week, Alie-Cox was able to get in a full session Friday. The veteran tight end has played in all 14 games this season but has done little in the box score, accruing 11-132-1 receiving on 18 targets. He's well off the fantasy radar in a Colts offense that likes to use multiple tight ends.

Alie-Cox (hip) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox will miss a second consecutive practice due to the hip injury he managed to play through during the Colts' loss to the Broncos in Week 15. The veteran tight end hasn't yet missed a game this season, but across 14 appearances he's racked up just 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. Friday will represent the last chance for Alie-Cox to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans.

Alie-Cox (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The VCU product played through is hip injury in Indianapolis' Week 15 loss to the Broncos, failing to record a stat across 28 total snaps (22 offensive and six on special teams). Wednesday's DNP is likely an indication that the injury worsened Sunday, putting Alie-Cox in jeopardy of missing the Week 16 divisional matchup against the Titans. His likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play.

Alie-Cox (hip) was deemed active ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Alie-Cox was expected to play after popping up on the injury report with a hip issue Friday. The 29-year-old has logged 11 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown this season. He should continue to fill into the Colts' by-committee rotation at tight end alongside Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory.
