Former Colts G/T Ryan Diem is retiring from the NFL. Diem protected Peyton Manning at right tackle for a decade before the lost season of 2011. A fourth-round pick out of Northern Illinois in 2001, Diem started 150 of 158 games for the Colts. Diem never appeared in a Pro Bowl, though he played near that level for several years. The 32-year-old made 14 playoff starts in 11 seasons.

Colts G/T Ryan Diem admitted he may retire this offseason. Diem will be an unrestricted free agent in March and turns 33 in July. "I'm going to take some time to think about everything and process it," he said. "This isn't the way anyone wants to go out, but I don't think that really tarnishes the rest of my career." Diem has started 150 games for the Colt since they drafted him in the fourth round of the 2001 draft.

Colts RT Ryan Diem (high ankle sprain) is inactive for their Week 7 game against the Saints. With Diem and LT Anthony Castonzo out, the line is concern against the Saints' exotic blitz schemes. Look for Dallas Clark and the Colts running backs to be asked to help with pass protection. QB Kerry Collins, WR Anthony Gonzalez, QB Peyton Manning, LB A.J. Edds, and DT Drake Nevis are also inactive. Nevis' absence is of particular interest for Mark Ingram owners. The Colts have lost starting DTs Fili Moala and Eric Foster, and the Saints' underperforming center Olin Kreutz retired. The Saints like replacement Brian De la Puente, and Ingram could be poised for a breakout game against Indy's 30th ranked run defense.

Colts RG Ryan Diem returned to a full practice Thursday for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2. Diem seems likely to play this week at Cincinnati, but his position is up in the air. The Colts could leave Mike Pollak at right guard, pushing Diem back out to right tackle in place of street free agent Quinn Ojinnaka.

Colts RG Ryan Diem may have suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Diem is still undergoing testing to determine the extent of his sprain. Mike Pollak figures to get the nod at right guard this week in a nightmare matchup with the Steelers.

Colts RG Ryan Diem left Sunday's game against the Browns with an ankle injury. Diem is questionable to return. The Colts are running a hurry-up offense that is helping protect Kerry Collins and their shaky offensive line. Backup Mike Pollak has come on and isn't a huge downgrade.

Ryan Diem practiced at right guard Tuesday, with Jeff Linkenbach kicking over to right tackle. The Colts are shuffling their offensive line. With first-round rookie Anthony Castonzo locked in at left tackle, Diem has moved inside for the first time since 2001 to accommodate Linkenbach. Regardless, this unit projects as one of the weakest in the league, especially in run blocking.

Colts RT Ryan Diem has agreed to a pay cut to stay on Indianapolis' roster. Diem was due a $5.4 million salary in the final year of his contract. After struggling mightily in pass protection in 2010, the 32-year-old would have been released if not for the restructuring. Diem graded out as Pro Football Focus' 70th-rated tackle among 78 last season. He was an even worse 75th in run blocking, which isn't what you want from a strong-side lineman.
