  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Appears healthy after missed season

    Woods (hamstring) looks healthy in a recent workout video he posted, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. The 2022 third-round pick had a promising rookie season with 25 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets while splitting TE snaps with Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. There was some thought Woods would take on a larger role in second pro season, but then he injured his left hamstring in training camp and didn't get it right until the middle of the season, at which point his right hamstring started to bother him and kept him on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Woods is one of the tallest tight ends in the league (6-7) and ran a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at 259 pounds at the 2022 NFL Combine.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Season likely over

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that he's not expecting Woods (hamstring) to return from injured reserve this season, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. As a rookie last season, Woods was part of the Colts' three-headed committee at tight end, finishing the campaign with 25 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets in 15 games. He was expected to stake a claim to a larger share of the snaps at tight end in his second season, but he's struggled to move past a hamstring injury that first cropped up during OTAs in the spring. He's suffered multiple setbacks in his recovery in the ensuing months and now looks set to have his sophomore season wiped out entirely. The Colts have continued to take a committee approach at tight end in 2023, with none of Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory or Mo Alie-Cox having cleared a 65 percent snap share in any game.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Making progress

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Woods (hamstring) is "getting closer" to a return to practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Woods was placed on injured reserve in advance of Week 1, but the 2022 third-round pick looks to be inching toward his season debut. Assuming Woods is activated off IR in the coming weeks, he would re-enter a crowed Colts tight end corps that also includes Kylen Granson (concussion), Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Won't be activated this week

    Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Woods (hamstring) will remain on injured reserve this week, implying that the tight end won't be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. After missing the requisite four games following his placement on IR on Aug. 30, Woods is first eligible to make his season debut this weekend. While it's unclear where exactly Woods stands in his recovery from the hamstring injury, Steichen's comments suggest that the 24-year-old isn't quite ready to practice. Whenever Woods gets the green light to practice, the Colts would then have a 21-day window to evaluate him for a potential return to the 53-man roster. While Woods remains on IR, the Colts will continue to lean on a three-man committee of Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox at tight end.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Lands on IR

    The Colts placed Woods (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday. With the move, Woods will miss at least four games as he recovers from a hamstring injury. In his absence, the Colts will likely rely on a committee of Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Andrew Ogletree to handle most of the reps at tight end.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Could land on IR soon

    Woods aggravated his hamstring injury recently and may soon be placed on injured reserve, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The hamstring has bothered Woods since the spring and kept him off the field for the entire preseason. His likely absence for the first few games of the regular season leaves the Colts with a tight end committee comprised of Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Andrew Ogletree and Will Mallory. At least three of those tight ends will likely take snaps on offense Week 1 against Jacksonville.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Misses another exhibition

    Woods (hamstring) didn't play in Thursday's 27-13 preseason win over Philadelphia. Dealing with a hamstring injury since the offseason program, Woods has officially missed all of training camp and the preseason. Kylen Granson, Andrew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox took snaps with the first-team offense Thursday night -- an arrangement that could continue Week 1 against the Jaguars with Woods looking shaky to play and unlikely to get a ton of snaps even if he does.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Misses game with hamstring injury

    Woods (hamstring) did not play in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo. Woods missed OTAs due to a hamstring injury, and while he said heading into training camp that he anticipated being a full participant, it continues to be an issue. His status for the start of the regular season may be at risk as a result.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Sits out team drills

    Woods (hamstring) didn't participate in team drills Monday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Woods missed OTAs due to a hamstring injury, and while he said heading into training camp that he anticipated being a full participant, it looks like the tight end is still bothered by the issue. He was dressed for practice, which suggests Woods' return may not be far off, but the third-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft is missing out on valuable reps as Indianapolis begins sorting out a tight end depth chart that also includes Kylen Granson, Pharaoh Brown and rookie Will Mallory (foot). Woods still has some time to get healthy before the Colts begin preseason play Aug. 12 against the Bills.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Will be full go for training camp

    Woods (hamstring) said Tuesday that he'll be full go for training camp, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Woods missed OTAs and veteran minicamp with a hamstring injury but will be back in action for the start of training camp. The 2022 third-round pick caught 25 of 40 targets for 312 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie in limited action, but the 6-foot-7 pass catcher has a chance to carve out an even bigger role in Year 2. The Colts signed blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown and drafted Will Mallory in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, but Woods' biggest competition for receiving work will come from Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Bothered by hammy

    Woods is dealing with a hamstring injury, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports. Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson are without some of their pass catchers Thursday for 7-on-7s, as Woods and WR Josh Downs (knee) are injured while WR Michael Pittman is absent for the birth of his child. A 2022 third-round pick, Woods did well with his limited chances in a timeshare last season and could take over more snaps from Mo Alie-Cox and/or Kylen Granson in 2013. The Colts did add blocking specialist Pharaoh Brown and fifth-round pick Will Mallory, but they probably pose more of a threat to Alie-Cox and Granson, respectively.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Just three receptions

    Woods had three receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at the Giants. Mo Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, but Woods played more snaps (35-31) and went out on more routes (15-10). Woods has become the leading pass target among Colts tight ends with Kylen Granson (ankle) sidelined. However, Indy's anemic pass offense won't result in many targets even with a good matchup in the season finale against Houston.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Sleepers (Start/Sit)

    Keep an eye on Kylen Granson (ankle), and if he's out again in Week 17 at the Giants then consider Woods a sleeper in deeper leagues. Woods had three catches for 43 yards on five targets with Granson out in Week 16 against the Chargers, and in the past two games Granson has missed (Week 12 against Pittsburgh), Woods has 11 catches for 141 yards on 14 targets. It's tough to trust any Colts player with Nick Foles starting at quarterback, but Woods has been productive any time Granson has been out, which could happen again in Week 17 at the Giants. It also helps that the Giants are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Sleeper TEs

    Kylen Granson (ankle) is out again in Week 17 at the Giants, so consider Woods a sleeper in deeper leagues.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Week 17 Waiver Priority List

    Woods is worth a look in deeper leagues if Kylen Granson (ankle) remains out. Woods had three catches for 43 yards on five targets with Granson out in Week 16 against the Chargers, and in the past two games Granson has missed (Week 12 against Pittsburgh), Woods has 11 catches for 141 yards on 14 targets.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Shows big-play potential

    Woods recorded three receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers. Woods saw increased opportunity with Kylen Granson (ankle) sidelined. While the Colts' offense was stalled for much of the game, Woods delivered catches of 17 and 15 yards early in the first quarter to account for the majority of his production and some of the team's better plays. He's been buried on the depth chart for long stretches of his rookie season, though Woods has multiple receptions in three of his last four contests.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: One catch in Week 15 loss

    Woods caught his only target for 36 yards in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings. Woods actually finished second on the team in receiving yards, trailing only Michael Pittman, who needed 14 targets to accrue 60 yards. The rookie tight end has flashed some promise, but Woods' short-term value is capped as he shares playing time with Kylen Granson in a low-octane Colts passing attack helmed by a washed-up Matt Ryan.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Limited role after big game

    Woods had two receptions for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Dallas. A week after posting eight catches for 98 yards on nine targets, Woods was an afterthought in the offense until late in the fourth quarter. Kylen Granson returned from an illness and started at tight end, and Granson played the most snaps on offense (41) of the Colts' tight ends ahead of Mo Alie-Cox's 31 and Woods' 15, though Woods ran the second-most routes. Perhaps Woods will have a bigger role after the team's Week 14 bye, but Indianapolis has split targets three ways all season between the tight ends as part of a passing attack that has generally struggled.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Listed as active Sunday night

    Woods (shoulder/quad) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, logged a full session Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest. The 2022 third-rounder, who is coming off a breakout effort in Week 12 in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in a 24-17 loss to the Steelers, will give it a go versus Dallas, but the return to action of fellow tight end Kylen Granson (who was inactive versus Pittsburgh due to an illness) means that Woods will have to share snaps with both Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, a context that could cut into the rookie's volume Sunday night.

  • Colts' Jelani Woods: Questionable for Week 13

    Woods (shoulder/quad) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was back on the field Friday, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic, but the tight end's status is unclear as Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff approaches. Woods is coming off a Week 12 effort in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers, but that season-high output coincided with fellow tight end Kylen Granson (who has practiced fully this week) being sidelined by an illness. Given Granson's looming availability and the timing of the Colts' kickoff, Woods currently profiles as a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 13.
