JACK DOYLE NEWS

Questionable, despite full practice Doyle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Despite bumping up his practice activity each day of the week, Doyle was given an injury designation for the first time since Week 4. Since he turned in a full practice Friday, Doyle seems more likely than not to suit up Sunday, but an official word on his status won't come until the Colts release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Doyle has outpaced fellow tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson in snaps over each of the past eight weeks, accruing a 16-159-3 receiving line on 24 targets over that span.

Upgrades to limited participation Doyle (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact This is a welcome development for Doyle after he sat out Wednesday's practice entirely. With three touchdowns in his last five games, Doyle has built some momentum heading into Sunday's favorable matchup against the Texans. He could still avoid the injury report altogether by upgrading to full participation Friday. If Doyle trends the other direction and winds up in danger of sitting out entirely, fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox would stand to benefit.

Sits out practice Doyle (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Doyle was on the field for 42 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers, while catching a season-high six passes on seven targets for 81 yards and a TD. It's possible that the tight end's Wednesday absence was maintenance-related, a notion that would be solidified if he's able to practice in any capacity Thursday.

Best game of season in loss Doyle brought in six of seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Doyle's reception and receiving yardage totals not only led the Colts on the afternoon, but they also qualified as his best numbers of the season in those categories. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the third time in five games when he scored from 15 yards out in the second quarter, and his clear chemistry with Carson Wentz affords him solid value heading into a Week 13 road divisional clash against the vulnerable Texans defense.

Press Conference: Jack Doyle, November 22 Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle speaks with the media following the team's victory over the Buffalo Bills.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • COLTS.COM

Modest numbers pace pass catchers Doyle brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Impact The veteran tight end tied Jonathan Taylor for the team lead in receptions and paced the Colts in receiving yards despite a very modest afternoon of production. Doyle has topped three receptions in a game only once all season, and he's been at 31 receiving yards or less in nine consecutive contests. On the brighter side, he does now have back-to-back five-target efforts and will look to extend that pattern in a Week 12 interconference matchup versus the Buccaneers.

No designation for Week 11 Doyle (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Doyle sandwiched a limited practice Thursday between full showings Wednesday and Friday, clearing the way for him to play this weekend. The 31-year-old has played at least half of the Colts' offensive snaps in all but one game this season, but his involvement in the passing attack has steadily been trending down since his breakout 80-catch, 690-yard campaign in 2017. Through 10 outings, Doyle has turned in a 17-167-2 receiving line on 27 targets.

Limited Thursday due to knee Doyle (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact Doyle was a full participant in Wednesday's session and hasn't dealt with a knee injury previously this season. There's little reason to suspect that the veteran tight end's availability for Sunday's game against the Bills is in jeopardy, though Friday's injury report should provide a more concrete assessment of Doyle's health ahead of Week 11 action.

Three receptions Sunday Doyle had three receptions for 31 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

Impact It looked like Doyle was being limited to just blocking after a four-game stretch where he had just four target and two receptions. However, he's had six receptions, nine targets and two touchdowns in his last three games. That's not enough production for viable fantasy value in most formats, but at least he's become a small factor in the passing game again.

Catches touchdown in loss Doyle had two receptions for 12 yards, including a five-yard touchdown, in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to Tennessee.

Impact Doyle played on 50 of the offense's 80 snaps and went out for a pass on 30 plays, both increases from his recent games that saw him increasingly used as a blocker. Even with the touchdown, he's had little role in the passing game -- five receptions in his last six games -- and there's no reason to think that will change unless there are several injuries in the receiving corps.

No receptions Sunday Doyle did not have a reception on his only target in Sunday's win over Houston.

Impact Doyle's role in the offense continues to shrink. He went out for a pass on nine pays for a season-low 29% of snaps. Even though the Colts were playing with large lead, Doyle usage in the passing game is sparse with just five targets over his last four games. He's fallen behind Mo Alie-Cox among the receiving options at tight end and is mostly being used for blocking.
