Colts' Kylen Granson: Logs three catches, TD in win
Granson recorded three receptions for 16 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Sunday's 31-20 win at Houston.
Granson played despite popping up on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury. He led Colts tight ends in snaps with 37 and routes run with 26, outpacing Mo Alie-Cox (23 and 10) and Will Mallory (11 and seven). He still appears to be the Colts' top tight end in the passing game, but Indianapolis looks as though it'll continue to divide the targets among a deep position group.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Will play Sunday
Granson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Texans.
Granson popped up on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury, but it won't stop him from suiting up. The starting tight end caught four of six targets for 39 yards during the season opener versus Jacksonville, but it's possible he's limited in Week 2 as the Colts may be cautious in an effort to avoid a potential setback.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Pop up on injury report
Granson was added to the Colts' injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.
Granson started in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, tallying four catches and six targets compared to a total of four targets combined for backups Mo Alie-Cox and Andrew Ogletree. If Granson is unable to play, Ogletree and Alie-Cox would likely split the workload, with the former perhaps seeing a few more pass-catching opportunities against a formidable Texans defense.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Four grabs in Week 1 loss
Granson caught four of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jaguars.
The third-year tight end produced a solid start to his season and was the clear top receiving option at his position for the Colts, as Andrew Ogletree (concussion) and Mo Alie-Cox combined for just one catch on four targets. Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson left late in Sunday's loss with a knee bruise, but whether he or Gardner Minshew are under center for Indianapolis in Week 2, Granson should be a reliable security blanket against the Texans.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Catches two passes
Granson caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 27-13 preseason win over the Eagles.
Granson's 25 yards were a team high at halftime even though the Colts had their first-team offense on the field for the entire half, six drives. QB Anthony Richardson completed only six of 17 passes for 78 yards, with Granson and WR Michael Pittman being the only players to catch multiple throws from the rookie. Granson nonetheless faces an uphill battle to average more than three or four targets a game, as the Colts likely will start the season with some kind of timeshare at TE when they host the Jaguars on Sept. 10. Andrew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox also got snaps with the starters Thursday night, and Jelani Woods (hamstring) might play more than any of them once he's healthy.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Starting TE in preseason opener
Granson had one reception for 20 yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.
Granson got the start at tight end with several tight ends sitting out due to injury (Mo Alie-Cox, Jelani Woods, Will Mallory). A report from Zak Keefer of The Athletic in May indicated Granson isn't a lock to make the final roster, but his status seems more secure during the preseason, especially with the other injuries at the position. Granson has caught 76.4 percent of his 55 targets since the Colts made him a fourth-round pick in 2021, but he's averaged only 9.7 yards per catch and is still searching for his first NFL touchdown.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Not a roster lock?
Granson isn't a lock for the Week 1 roster, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Granson led the Indianapolis tight ends with 32 catches last year, but Mo Alie-Cox took more snaps and Jelani Woods had more yards (312-302) and touchdowns (3-0) on the same number of targets (40). While the team didn't make any high-profile additions to the TE room this offseason, there's more competition for jobs with veteran Pharaoh Brown and fifth-round pick Will Mallory joining the mix. Mallory could challenge Granson for playing time in passing situations, as both are small for the position and are mostly valued for receiving skills/potential. Granson has caught 76.4 percent of his 55 targets since the Colts made him a fourth-round pick in 2021, but he's averaged only 9.7 yards per catch and is still searching for his first NFL touchdown.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Sitting out finale
Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Granson (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Granson will close out the season with a third consecutive absence, paving the way for Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox to split the bulk of the reps at tight end. A 2021 fourth-round pick out of SMU, Granson amassed 31 receptions for 302 yards and no touchdowns on 40 targets over 13 appearances during his sophomore season.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Misses another practice
Granson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Granson missed the past two games and isn't likely to be rushed back for a regular-season finale Sunday against the Texans without any playoff implications. Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox have split snaps at tight end while the 2021 fourth-round pick has sat out the last two weeks.

Colts' Kylen Granson: Ruled out for Week 17
Granson (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Giants.
Granson will miss a second consecutive game due to this injury, leaving Week 18 against the Texans as his last opportunity to make another appearance this season. Jelani Woods has led the Colts in receiving yards in both of the previous games that Granson sat out, so Woods figures to be the primary beneficiary of another Granson absence.
