Indianapolis Colts assess injury report ahead of Week 8 Jaguars matchup

The Indianapolis Colts listed tight end Tyler Warren as a limited participant on Wednesday in their first injury report of the week ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Yahoo NFL reported. Yahoo NFL also noted that rookie linebacker C.J. Allen is set to assume more duties on defense once his ankle injury heals. [1][8]

The updates follow three consecutive losses for the Colts, which Yahoo NFL stated caused the team to fall in the latest league power rankings. The New York Times reported that the franchise has begun a fire sale of roster talent, while Yahoo Sports Top noted that offensive lineman Quenton Nelson was traded to the Seattle Seahawks.

Changes inside the organization began earlier this month. As FTMQ Sports reported earlier, long-serving general manager Chris Ballard departed the franchise ahead of the trade deadline. Yahoo Sports Top added that the team parted ways with Ballard following a Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans. [2][17]

Questions remain regarding the roster status of running back Jonathan Taylor. Yahoo Sports Top reported that team ownership does not want to trade Taylor, though a deal remains possible. Yahoo Sports Top also noted that head coach Shane Steichen continues to support quarterback Daniel Jones, while analyst Ben Solak warned that a loss to Jacksonville to fall to 2-6 could trigger further roster changes.
