The Indianapolis Colts have placed tight end Jelani Woods on the injured reserve list after he suffered a toe injury in a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. This news comes from a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Woods recently underwent surgery for the injury, marking his second consecutive season missing the entire year due to injury, having missed the previous season with a hamstring injury.
In his rookie season in 2022, Woods had 25 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns. The Colts will need to make additional cuts to trim their roster to 53 players by Tuesday at 4 p.m. The team is gearing up to open their season on September 8 against the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium.
This setback for Woods adds to the challenges the Colts will face as they prepare for the upcoming season. With their roster adjustments and a key player being sidelined, the team will need to regroup and come up with a strategy to navigate through the obstacles. Despite this setback, the Colts are determined to start their season strong and are working hard to overcome any challenges that may come their way.
