Wins roster spot Dulin has made Indianapolis' 53-man roster.

Impact Dulin was in contention for the fifth wide receiver role with Mike Strachan and Dezmon Patmon, but he was outplayed in the preseason by both. Dulin is mostly on the roster for his prowess on special teams and may not be much of a factor as a receiver unless there are several injuries.

No receptions Saturday Dulin didn't have a reception on two targets in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.

Impact Dulin and Sam Ehlinger didn't connect on a tipped pass for an interception that may have partially been Dulin's fault. Dulin was thought to have a firm grip on a roster spot heading into the preseason, but both Mike Strachan and Dezmon Patmon have had strong training camps and preseason performances. The competition for the final receiver roles will likely come down to the wire.

Signs one-year contract Dulin signed a one-year contract with the Colts on Sunday.

Impact While Dulin's usage was very limited during the 2020 campaign, the Colts have officially signed the receiver for one more year. The 23-year-old has yet to score his first NFL touchdown but managed to catch three of his six targets for 53 yards throughout his 14 games this season.

Doesn't secure lone target Dulin was targeted once but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

Impact Dulin's usage has been consistently low this season, as he hasn't logged double-digit snaps since Week 4. There's no reason to believe that will change in the near future unless one of T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman or Zach Pascal get hurt.

Officially activated The Colts have officially activated Dulin off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Dulin spent the minimum three-week requirement on IR before being designated to return earlier in the week. Practice seemingly went well and he will now be available versus Tennessee. However, he is not expected to make much of an impact on offense due to a plethora of receivers ahead of him on the depth chart.

Receives return designation Dulin (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dulin landed on injured reserve with the knee issue in early November, but he's been cleared to return to practice this week. The 23-year-old is eligible to be activated for Sunday's matchup with Tennessee, though it's unclear if he'll have enough practice time to reach game readiness.

NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IR The Colts placed Dulin (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Dulin is primarily a special teams contributor for the Colts. He will now be sidelined at least three weeks before he can potentially return.

Ruled out against Ravens Dulin (knee) won't play Sunday against the Ravens, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

Impact With a short week before Thursday's Week 10 trip to Tennessee, Dulin will be hard-pressed to heal in time to dress for Indianapolis' next game after this one. Isaiah Rodgers will handle kickoff return duties in Dulin's absence.

Unable to practice Wednesday Dulin (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports.

Impact Both Dulin and T.Y. Hilton (groin) left Sunday's win over the Lions with injuries, and they both missed Wednesday's practice. Dulin is trending in the wrong direction to start the week, and it's unclear how severe his injury is. He typically serves as depth at wide receiver, so Dezmon Patmon could make his NFL debut if Dulin sits out this Sunday versus the Ravens.

Injures knee Sunday Dulin didn't finish Sunday's game against the Lions due to a knee injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Dulin was expected to handle an expanded role after T.Y. Hilton left with a groin injury, but the 23-year-old receiver picked up an injury of his own and spent the rest of the game on the sidelines. He caught a 13-yard pass before leaving. The Colts finished Week 8 with just three healthy receivers -- Zach Pascal, Michael Pittman and Marcus Johnson -- with a home matchup against Baltimore on the horizon.

Rivers' 3 TDs in 2nd quarter help Colts beat Lions 41-21

Big gain on lone target Dulin reeled in his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Impact Dulin only took seven snaps on offense, but he provided the Colts with one of their biggest plays of the day in the second quarter. The wideout should continue to be active week in and week out due to his contributions on special teams, but Dulin is unlikely to be featured often in three-receiver sets.

OCTOBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No targets Sunday Dulin did not have a reception nor target in Sunday's win at Chicago. He played on 18 of the offense's 72 snaps.

Impact With Michael Pittman and Parris Campbell placed on IR, there was a chance that Dulin could emerge as the third receiver. However, Marcus Johnson played on 34 snaps and essentially overtook Fountain and Ashton Dulin as the No. 3 receiver even though he was just recently added to the active roster. Johnson had just one target, however, as it looks like the Colts will utilize tight ends in the passing game more than third and fourth receivers.

OCTOBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 12 snaps Sunday Dulin did not have a reception on one target in Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets. He played on 12 of the offense's 59 snaps.

Impact With Michael Pittman out after leg surgery and Parris Campbell set to undergo knee surgery, Dulin could get significant playing time as either the No. 3 or No. 4 wide receiver. It's not clear who will emerge as the No. 3 receiver among Daurice Fountain, Dulin and rookie Dezmon Patmon. It's also possible the Colts could utilize more two-TE sets with Mo Alie-Cox becoming a major factor in the passing game.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Has one reception Dulin had one reception for six yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

Impact Dulin played six snaps on offense after playing only special teams last week. With Parris Campbell likely out several weeks with a knee injury, Dulin will get some snaps on offense. However, don't expect him to have a significant role as his value is mostly on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets work on kickoff returns Dulin had two kickoff returns for 66 yards, including a long of 41 yards, in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

Impact Dulin played all of his 14 snaps on special teams. He'll have a limited reserve role on offense, but could take over kickoff return duties with primary returner Nyheim Hines taking on a larger role on offense with Marlon Mack's season-ending Achilies injury.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 53-man roster Dulin made Indianapolis' final 53-man roster due to his role on special teams, where he's the gunner on punts, The Athletic reports.

Impact While Dulin is a special teams star, he will have a limited depth role as a wide receiver. He likely won't get but a few snaps unless there's an injury to the top four wideouts (T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell, Zach Pascal, Michael Pittman Jr.).
