The Indianapolis Colts entered Week 5 of the NFL season with a pair of key defensive starters ruled out for their Sunday showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Linebacker Jaylon Carlies, sidelined since a rib injury suffered against the Washington Commanders, will miss the game, clearing the way for rookie Bryce Boettcher to make his first career start.
On the offensive side, wide receiver Ashton Dulin’s hamstring injury has now cost him three games this season, while defensive end Arden Key’s hamstring issue could force him to sit out multiple weeks, with JT Tuimoloau expected to step in at the position. The Colts’ receiving corps also faces uncertainty, as Keenan Allen and Darius Slayton—both listed as questionable—could further thin the depth chart.
Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who played through a groin issue last week, showed improvement in Friday’s practice but remains in doubt for Sunday’s matchup, where his absence would test the team’s defensive flexibility.
