73 Joe Haeg T

Haeg (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Haeg returned to practice Nov. 14 and now officially makes his return to the team ahead of Week 13. The 25-year-old started the first three games of the season at right tackle and could retake that job, but the offensive line has protected Andrew Luck so well over the last eight games they could opt to continue in the current configuration.

Haeg (ankle) will participate in practice Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The Colts have three weeks to make a decision on whether or not to activate the lineman, but it's a good bet he will be available at some point considering the team used its second return designation from IR on him. Haeg started the first three weeks of the season before suffering the ankle issue and will take aim at returning to his starting right tackle spot when activated.

Haeg (ankle) is getting close to a return and could be activated off injured reserve, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Haeg was placed on IR late in September due to his ankle injury. He's missed five games and will need to miss at least three more before being activated. That being said, he could return in time for the final five games of the season, when he would aim to return to his spot as the team's starting right tackle.

Haeg (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Haeg will miss at least the next eight games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. The 2016 fifth-round pick has started 32 games at right tackle for Indianapolis in his career, and will be replaced by Denzelle Good for the foreseeable future.

Haeg (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Haeg's Week 4 designation is no surprise, considering that the lineman is expected to miss several weeks while recovering from an ankle injury. As long as Haeg remains sidelined, expect Denzelle Good to slot in as the Colts' starting right tackle.
