Ogletree (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Ogletree's practice reps Wednesday and Thursday were limited by a knee injury that he likely picked up against the Vikings in Week 7. He was a DNP for Friday's session, but the Colts have left the door open for Ogletree to suit up Sunday, depending on how his knee feels over the weekend and during pregame warmups. Tyler Warren (groin) has been cleared to return from a two-game absence, but Ogletree's absence would mean more offensive snaps would be available for Will Mallory, Mo Alie-Cox and Pharaoh Brown.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Ogletree (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Ogletree hasn't had a productive 2026 campaign, totaling three catches (five targets) for 16 yards. Still, if the knee issue prevents him from suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville, it could at least mean more snaps for Will Mallory and Mo Alie-Cox behind Tyler Warren (groin).

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Ogletree (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on the Colts' official injury report Wednesday.
Ogletree presumably picked up the knee injury during Sunday's game at Minnesota, but his status indicates it's probably not too severe. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he could still avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Logs two catches against Minnesota
Rotowire
Ogletree caught both of his passes for 12 yards during the Colts' 13-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Ogletree and the other Colts tight ends stepped into larger roles offensively for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Tyler Warren (groin). Ogletree's 35 offensive snaps were second-most among Indianapolis' tight ends, and he set season highs in catches, targets and receiving yards. He's mostly worked as a blocker on offense, and his snap count would be lower in Week 8 against the Jaguars if Warren is cleared to return for that contest.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Returns to full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Ogletree (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
Ogletree didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but he has apparently avoided a serious injury given his return to full participation Thursday. The veteran tight end has just one catch on three targets for four yards through six games this season, as he's been primarily used as a blocker. Ogletree should be good to go for Sunday's battle against the Vikings.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ogletree (ankle) did not participate at the Colts' practice Wednesday.
Ogletree appears to have picked up an ankle injury during the team's 26-20 loss to the Titans in Week 6. The tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Limited at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ogletree (neck) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
The Colts will play the Ravens to begin the season, though it's unknown if Ogletree will be on the field for that contest. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Colts, most recently amassing four catches for 27 yards and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign. While Ogletree isn't expected to see much attention from Daniel Jones in Week 1, his absence could mean an extra target or two for Mo Alie-Cox.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Re-ups with Colts for one year
Rotowire
Ogletree (neck) re-signed with the Colts on a one-year contract Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ogletree has recovered from a neck injury that landed him on injured reserve to finish the 2025 season. He's expected to continue filling a depth role and contributing primarily as a blocker after recording 22 catches for 283 yards and four touchdowns across 44 appearances over the past three regular seasons with Indianapolis.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Ends 2025 on IR
Rotowire
Ogletree (IR, neck) finished his 2025 campaign with four receptions for 27 yards and one touchdown on six targets across 15 regular-season games.
Ogletree was a pivotal special-teams player and blocking tight end for the Colts, logging 68 percent of snaps or better in every contest he played in until he suffered his neck injury. The 2022 sixth-round pick's injury came at an unfortunate time in his career, as Ogletree will be an unrestricted free agent come the new league year.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Colts placed Ogletree (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.
Ogletree will miss at least Indianapolis' next four games due to a neck injury suffered during the team's Week 16 loss to San Francisco. If the Colts manage to somehow get into the playoffs and make a deep playoff run, the depth tight end could be a candidate to retake the field late January, though the Colts' chances of making the postseason are quite slim.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Out for Sunday
Rotowire
Ogletree (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
The Youngstown State product opened the Colts' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after sustaining a neck injury in the Week 16 loss to the 49ers, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. Ogletree has appeared in 15 games this season, catching four of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown. Expect Will Mallory to operate as Indianapolis' No. 3 tight end in Ogletree's stead in Week 17.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Listed as DNP to open Week 17 prep
Rotowire
The Colts listed Ogletree (neck) as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Ogletree sustained a neck injury during the Colts' loss to the 49ers on Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in Wednesday's walkthrough, and the fourth-year tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's home game against the Jaguars.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Exits MNF with neck injury
Rotowire
Ogletree (neck) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the 49ers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear when Ogletree sustained the injury, but he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Mo Alie-Cox will see a small uptick in offensive snaps at tight end behind rookie Tyler Warren for as long as Ogletree is out of the game.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Gets time in blocking role
Rotowire
Ogletree did not have a reception or target in Sunday's win over Miami. He played on 27 of the offense's 73 snaps.
Ogletree went out on just five routes as he's going to be almost exclusively a blocking tight end, with Tyler Warren becoming a focus in the passing game.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Two receptions in win
Rotowire
Ogletree had two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
He played on 21 of the offense's 70 snaps (Mo Alie-Cox played 34 and Kylen Granson played 17) and had the second most targets (Alie-Cox had four) among tight ends. While Alie-Cox has had a few more targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Colts continue to divide the workload relatively evenly between three our four tight ends, which limits Ogletree's upside.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Just one reception in loss
Rotowire
Ogletree had one reception for five yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Ogletree played on 26 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on nine routes. The Colts continue to divide targets and snaps between multiple tight ends (Kylen Granson played 18 snaps, Mo Alie-Cox played 29, and Will Mallory played 16). Alie-Cox caught a touchdown in the loss where Ogletree caught a touchdown Week 4. As long as the workload is divided between three or four tight ends, none will have viable fantasy value for most formats.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: TD reception in win
Rotowire
Ogletree caught a 15-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.
It was just Ogletree's second reception of the season, as Indy hasn't utilized tight ends in the passing game and splits targets among three tight ends. Ogletree played on just 24 of the offense's 66 snaps and went out on six routes. His minimal usage makes him a poor fantasy option despite the touchdown reception.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Quiet day
Rotowire
Ogletree played just 10 snaps on offense and didn't see a target in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Ogletree's small role on offense isn't necessarily surprising, considering he's operating as the No. 3 man on the team's tight-end depth chart. He'll likely need an injury to Kylen Granson or Mo Alie-Cox to find himself as a larger part of the Colts' offense. However, he does remain a regular part of the team's special-teams unit.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Makes 53-man roster
Rotowire
Ogletree has made Indianapolis' 53-man roster.
With Jelani Woods (toe) out for the season on IR, Olgetree will be part of a four-man committee at tight end that also includes Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory. Ogletree is probably the second or third receiving option among the quartet, with Alie-Cox primarily a blocking tight end.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Blanked despite significant role
Rotowire
Ogletree saw one target on 26 offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win at Tennessee but did not catch the pass.
Despite pacing the Colts' tight ends in snaps in Week 13, Ogletree did not register in the box score. Although he has a dismal 50-percent catch rate, he's actually been relatively efficient on the few targets (18) he's drawn through nine games this season. Even so, he's on the heavy end (260 lbs.) even by tight end standards, so it makes some sense that Indianapolis has deployed him mostly as a blocker this year and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
