Granson appears to be a the top of an unsettled depth chart at tight end after the first week of training camp, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. He's competing with Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox, Jelani Woods and Will Mallory for playing time. Granson was the most productive member of a crowded Colts tight end room last season, posting 30 catches for 368 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. However, the Colts split targets between three tight ends last year and that pattern could continue this season.

Carlies (hip) missed practice Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports. Carlies, a fifth-round 2025 draft pick, is expected to transition to linebacker after playing safety in college, so any missed time in training camp could slow his development.
Mallory did not participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a hamstring injury, Joel Erickson of IndyStar.com reports. It's unclear whether Mallory's current hamstring injury is in the same leg that caused him to finish the 2023 sidelined. A return to the practice field is crucial for Mallory, as he's competing with Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree for a backup spot at tight end behind presumptive starter Jelani Woods.
Pierce and rookie Adonai Mitchell have rotated playing time between the first- and second-team offenses through the first week of training camp, Indianapolis 93.5 The Fan reports. Mitchell and Pierce are battling for the No. 3 receiver role in the offense. It's early in the contest, but it's notable that Pierce as the veteran didn't immediately get all the reps with the first unit. Pierce has underwhelmed by averaging just 554 yards and two touchdowns in his two years with the Colts, so there's some risk he could quickly lose playing time to the 2024 second-round pick.

Leo was selected by the Colts in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but spent all of last season on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Colts can't afford losing depth on the defensive line with -Samson Ebukam suffering a season-ending Achilles injury Sunday.
Odeyingbo (calf) didn't practice Tuesday, Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated reports. Odeyingbo missed his second consecutive practice as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Once healthy, the 2021 second-round pick is slated to start at defensive end for the Colts, after he compiled 22 tackles (16 solo), with 8.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games played a season ago.
Odeyingbo has been sidelined for the start of the Colts' training camp due to a calf injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
