2nd-year LB on IR with a return designation; his Week 5 status is uncertain, adding urgency to the Colts’ depth assessment as Johnson provides cover in the interim.

Carlies is sidelined with an ankle injury but eyed to re-enter as a starting LB, implying potential for increased IDP value or a larger defensive role upon return.

Jaylon Carlies is out with an injury and placed on IR, boosting the Colts’ need for LB depth. Walker's PS addition offers a veteran bridge, while Indy had previously added Muma and Bachie. Carlies’ absence underscores the urgency of reliable, flexible linebacking options behind the starters.

Carlies' health issues put his job at risk as Bachie steps in; if Carlies returns healthy, he could reclaim workload, otherwise deep-league IDP value declines.

Carlies designated to return from IR; Colts will evaluate his health and potential early-season role, adding LB depth as cuts reshape the inside linebacking corps.
