Overview
- Warren left an 11-on-11 joint practice with the Atlanta Falcons clutching his groin and walking with a limp, then returned to the sidelines without his helmet on Wednesday.
- Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Warren has a groin injury but did not provide details on severity or a recovery timeline.
- NFL insider reports identified the problem as an abductor strain and multiple sources told reporters the injury is likely short-term and the tight end should be back in roughly a week.
- Warren was a 2025 Pro Bowler (76 catches for 817 yards) and is expected to have a larger role this season, so any missed time would push targets to veterans like Keenan Allen and to backup tight end Mo Alie-Cox.
- The team will track his progress through the rest of preseason and daily medical updates this week will determine whether he practices before the Sept. 13 opener and how the Colts adjust their game plan.
