The Indianapolis Colts announced several roster adjustments ahead of their upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Defensive end Arden Key has been activated from injured reserve, according to the team’s official report.
Key had been sidelined since Oct. 10 after sustaining a hamstring injury during a game against Washington.
Before his injury, Key was a key contributor, logging 11 quarterback pressures and a sack, as noted by Colts Wire.
In other roster news, the team placed tight end Mo Alie-Cox and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither on injured reserve.
To address depth concerns at linebacker, the organization signed West Weeks from the practice squad to the active roster.
Weeks is expected to primarily contribute on special teams units throughout the remainder of the season.
The team also confirmed that tight end Will Mallory will miss the game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury.
Mallory, who was originally listed as questionable, was downgraded to out following further medical evaluation.
The Colts bolstered their receiving corps by elevating Quez Watkins from the practice squad, a move necessitated by the recent trades of Keenan Allen and Josh Downs.
Additionally, long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer was elevated to the active roster to provide depth, as Luke Rhodes remains sidelined with an injury.
The team shared the news via social media, stating: “We have activated DE Arden Key from IR, signed LB West Weeks to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and have placed TE Mo Alie-Cox and LB Akeem Davis-Gaither on IR.”
The Colts are preparing for a challenging road contest against the Dolphins, as reported by the league statistics database.
The team remains focused on maintaining defensive production in the absence of key personnel, according to the Indianapolis roster updates.
These adjustments reflect the team’s ongoing efforts to manage injuries while maintaining a competitive roster for the Sunday game.
