Colts' Arden Key: Activated from IR, will play Week 10
Rotowire
Key (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Key missed the Colts' last five games while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury that he sustained in Week 4 against the Commanders. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and logged a trio of full sessions, which gave the Colts the confidence to activate the veteran defensive lineman from IR ahead of Sunday's contest. Prior to his IR stint, Key posted eight tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one forced fumble in four regular-season games.
The Colts are opening Key's (hamstring) 21-day practice window, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Key hasn't played since sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Commanders. Now, after five weeks, the 30-year-old may begin practicing. He will likely need to string together multiple positive practices for a chance to play in Week 10.

Colts' Arden Key: Moved to IR
Rotowire
The Colts placed Key (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Key sustained a hamstring injury against the Colts in Week 4, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran defensive lineman to warrant a stint on IR. He'll be required to miss at least four games, so the earliest Key can return is Week 9 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 8. Laiatu Latu, Jaylahn Tuimoloau and rookie fifth-rounder George Gumbs are all in line for more defensive snaps in Key's absence.

Colts' Arden Key: Set to miss time
Rotowire
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that Key is expected to miss three to four weeks with a hamstring injury, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
Key's availability was already in doubt for Week 5 after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over Washington, he's now set to miss the next three to four weeks for the Colts. JT Tuimoloau and Caden Curry will increase reps on the defensive line while Key is out.

Colts' Arden Key: Set to miss action moving forward
Rotowire
Key (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Colts' matchup with Pittsburgh in Week 5, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Key suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's win over Washington, and he's set to "miss some time," according to manager Shane Steichen. In his absence, JT Tuimoloau and Caden Curry will stand to see an increase in opportunities on the defensive line versus the Steelers in Week 5.
Key (hip) signed with the Colts on Thursday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
The linebacker missed Week 18 of last season due to a hip injury, but he appears to be healthy again. Key played in 12 games last year for the Titans, recording 22 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks. He has finished with 4.0 or more sacks in each of the last five campaigns.
Key (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The 29-year-old sustained a hip injury in the Week 17 loss to the Saints and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. Key has now closed his 2025 campaign with 22 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 12 contests. While he's sidelined for the Week 18 divisional matchup, expect Jaylen Harrell to start opposite Jihad Ward.
Key (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Key was removed from the Titans' Week 17 loss to the Saints due to what was initially reported as a back injury. He has since been diagnosed with a hip issue, which prevented him from participating in the opening practice of Week 18 prep. The veteran pass rusher will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars. Key has accumulated 16 tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, across seven games since the Titans' Week 10 bye.
