Week 5 injury watch centers on Tyquan Lewis, who is questionable with an oblique after two limited practices. If Lewis sits, JT Tuimoloau steps into a larger edge role behind a rotation anchored by Laiatu Latu, Samson Ebukam, and Kwity Paye, with Latu handling interior pass rush on certain packages. Fantasy angles shift to Latu’s snap counts and the Colts’ pass rush depth against the Raiders, plus the impact of any fallback options on downs 3-4.

Inactive or not, the storm clouds around the Colts’ DE group could tilt the rotation toward Tuimoloau and increased interior pressure on passing downs. Raiders’ line protections will test the group, so fantasy managers should monitor final inactives and practice reports closely before kickoff.

The Indianapolis Colts waived Isaiah Land after a standout preseason showing, capping a surprising summer surge with a roster-cut decision driven by numbers rather than performance. Land totaled seven pressures and a sack across three games, flashing consistent disruption and a win-rate near the top among defensive ends. Despite the splash, the Colts faced a crowded DE room with Laiatu Latu, Kwity Paye, JT Tuimoloau, Samson Ebukam, and Tyquan Lewis—six players who all demand snaps. Land’s waiver reflects the brutal math of regular-season roles more than a critique of his play.

Land’s strong preseason included three pressures in each of the last two games, plus solid run defense grades and tackling numbers. Still, a near-impossible task to allocate meaningful snaps to six ends made Land expendable. The decision leaves Land at a crossroads: a potential practice-squad candidate who could surface again if injuries or performance shifts create a clearer path to playing time. The Colts’ move underscores roster-building realities in a competitive depth chart.

In their preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens, the Indianapolis Colts showcased standout performances from their rookies, specifically Tyler Warren and JT Tuimoloau. Warren, the tight end, emerged as a reliable target, catching all three passes thrown his way for a total of 40 yards. His physicality as a runner contributed significantly to the Colts' offensive efforts. Meanwhile, defensive end Tuimoloau demonstrated a well-rounded skill set, excelling particularly in pass rushing. He finished the game with impressive stats, including two tackles for loss, one sack, and two quarterback hits, underscoring his potential to be a key player in the Colts' defensive lineup.

Tyler Warren and the Indianapolis Colts rookies are set to report for training camp, ahead of their first practice on July 23rd. The rookies will arrive on July 21st, giving them a chance to reacclimate after a brief break. This early arrival also allows injured players to be evaluated and potentially cleared for practice. While Warren garners significant attention for his role in the passing game, there are other rookies, including JT Tuimoloau and Justin Walley, who are crucial to watch as training camp unfolds.
