Prince J. Grimes, For The WinSun, November 30, 2025 at 2:17 PM UTC·1 min readTyler Warren was a late addition to the Indianapolis Colts injury report Saturday morning due to an illness that now has the rookie tight end questionable to play in Sunday afternoon's game against the Houston Texans.
With two losses in the last three games, the Colts need a win to continue their pursuit of a top seed in the AFC playoff race -- and hold off the Texans and Jaguars in the South division. That task will be much easier if Warren, their leader in receiving yards at 662, is available against a tough Houston defense.

Who is the Colts' backup tight end?
Warren's backup is Mo Alie-Cox, who has just five catches on nine targets for 59 yards this season. Alie-Cox isn't a a very reliable fantasy option if Warren is out, however, due to the potential usage of Drew Ogletree, who caught a touchdown last week. Warren is obviously a must-start in all fantasy formats if he plays.
