Panthers' Mike Strachan: Will not play
Rotowire
Strachan (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.
Strachan made his debut on the active roster in Week 10 and subsequently played four out of five weeks. His absence Sunday indicates Carolina is comfortable going with thinner depth at wide receiver in favor of more depth somewhere else on the roster.

Panthers' Mike Strachan: Elevated ahead of Week 11
Rotowire
The Panthers elevated Strachan from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Strachan will be active on gameday for the second straight week after catching one of two targets for 45 yards against the Bears in Week 10. The third-year wideout has shown a penchant for big plays in his limited NFL action, as three of his six career catches have gone for 20-plus yards. Strachan is unlikely to see enough snaps against the Cowboys on Sunday to be a fantasy target, however.

Strachan was elevated from Carolina's practice squad prior to Thursday's loss to the Bears. It was his first time suiting up this season.

Mike Strachan: Signs to Indy practice squad
Rotowire
Strachan was signed to Indianapolis' practice squad, the Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Rotowire
Strachan is being waived by the Colts on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Networkreports.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Nabs 18-yard catch in preseason
Rotowire
Strachan had one reception for 18 yards in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.
Strachan got time in the second quarter with the second-team offense. At 6-foot-5, Strachan could be a viable red-zone target if he wins a significant role, but the 2021 seventh-rounder is battling for one of the final receiver spots on the roster.

Colts' Mike Strachan: No targets in season finale
Rotowire
Strachan did not have a target and played just three snaps on offense during Sunday's 32-31 loss versus Houston.
Strachan got one target the week before with Ashton Dulin out due to a concussion, but he barely got on the field when he returned for the finale. Strachan had just three receptions for 59 yards on nine targets during the season. The 2021 seventh-rounder will likely be in a battle to retain a roster spot for 2023.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Cleared for Monday
Rotowire
Strachan (concussion) is good to go for Monday's matchup with the Chargers.
Strachan will return from a one-game absence after suffering a concussion in Week 14. Look for him to resume his usual role as the Colts' No. 5 wide receiver assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Strachan (concussion) was listed as a full participant on the Colts' injury report Thursday.
Strachan popped up with a concussion on Indianapolis' injury report last Wednesday, which left him sidelined for Saturday's loss to the Vikings. It's still if the 25-year-old was able to clear the league's protocols before returning to practice in full Thursday, so his status is still up in the air for Monday's game versus the Chargers. Strachan has not hauled in a target since Week 2, so his availability doesn't figure to play much of a factor in the Colts offense.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Inactive for second straight game
Rotowire
Strachan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Strachan finds himself as a healthy scratch for a second straight game after appearing in the team's first nine games of the season. Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell, Alec Pierce, Ashton Dulin and Keke Coutee will be the only active wideouts for the Colts on Sunday.

Colts' Mike Strachan: No receptions despite larger role
Rotowire
Strachan didn't have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
Strachan played 19 snaps on offense and went out for 13 routes, but he wasn't much of a factor. He's getting some playing time as the fourth receiver with Ashton Dulin on injured reserve with a foot injury, but it doesn't look like Strachan will be a big part of the game plan.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Larger role than expected
Rotowire
Strachan had two receptions for 36 yards on two targets in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.
Strachan played on 11 of the offense's 92 snaps, so he didn't have a huge role. Still, it was somewhat surprising to see Strachan get snaps in the passing game, let alone two big receptions, given the top four starting wideouts were healthy. That may bode well for Strachan's role in the offense should a starting wideout get hurt or fall out of favor.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Removed from active/PUP list
Rotowire
The Colts activated Strachan from the active/PUP list Monday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Strachan began training camp on the PUP list after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but he's officially been cleared to practice for the first time this season. The 2021 seventh-round pick caught two of three targets for 26 yards across six appearances as a rookie and will look to carve out a bigger role in Year 2. At 6-foot-5, he could be another red-zone threat for Matt Ryan, but he'll likely have to compete with Dezmon Patmon and Keke Coutee for a roster spot.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Recovering from knee surgery
Rotowire
Strachan underwent surgery on his knee this summer, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Although currently on the active/PUP list, Strachan is still expected to participate in training camp at some point. Once he returns, he'll battle for a depth role in a wide receiver room that features six other players with in-game NFL experience and a 2022 second-round pick.

Colts' Mike Strachan: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Strachan (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Strachan will be in street clothes for the seventh straight game. The rookie wideout's chances of suiting up in the Jan. 9 regular-season finale in Jacksonville wouldn't seem to be promising, as the Colts could get Parris Campbell (foot) back from injured reserve for that contest.
