MO ALIE-COX NEWS

Status hinges on pregame warmup The Colts are optimistic that Alie-Cox (knee) will play Sunday against the Lions, but he'll be put through a pregame workout before the team determines his status, Ian Rapoport of...

Impact Alie-Cox is listed as questionable for the Week 8 contest after having been sidelined for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Bengals prior to the team going on bye Week 7. Assuming his knee provides no major complications during his pregame workout, Alie-Cox should avoid the inactive list, which the Colts will release approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he dresses for the contest, Alie-Cox will be stuck in a timeshare at tight end with Trey Burton and Jack Doyle.

Questionable for Week 8 Alie-Cox (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alie-Cox hasn't suited up since Week 5 in Cleveland, but it looks like he has a fair shot to take the field against Detroit. With fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both healthy, Alie-Cox could be relegated to a limited role even if he does manage to play Sunday.

Limited practice Thursday Alie-Cox (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Impact We'll have to see if Alie-Cox heads into the weekend listed as questionable, but his fantasy upside is limited as long as fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Trey Burton are both available.

Still not practicing Alie-Cox (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Alie-Cox had the Week 7 bye to rest up, but he still hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to resume practicing. If he's forced to miss Sunday's game in Detroit, Jack Doyle and Trey Burton will split the reps at tight end.

Won't play against Bengals Alie-Cox (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact With Alie-Cox out, Jack Doyle and Trey Burton should both benefit from extra snaps at the tight end position against Cincinnati. The Colts will be on bye in Week 7, giving Alie-Cox two weeks to heal up before a Week 8 road tilt in Detroit.

Misses another session Alie-Cox (knee) did not practice Thursday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Impact Alie-Cox has now missed back-to-back practices, putting his availability for Sunday's contest against the Bengals in jeopardy. If Alie-Cox isn't able to take a substantial step forward in Friday's final practice of the week, the Colts will proceed forward with just Trey Burton and Jack Doyle as starters at tight end.

Starts week with missed practice Alie-Cox (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact This isn't a good start to the week for Alie-Cox, who picked up a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Browns while also failing to record a catch. With Trey Burton and Jack Coyle back in action after previously missing time with injuries earlier this season, Alie-Cox likely won't be in store for a significant amount of snaps and targets if he shakes off the injury in time for this weekend's game versus the Bengals.

Injuries to Leonard, Castonzo keep Colts out of sync in loss

The Indianapolis Colts missed Pro Bowl linebacker Darius Leonard on Sunday

Nursing knee injury Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Alie-Cox will be monitored in practice due to a knee injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Alie-Cox was held catchless during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns (one target), and he appears to have picked up a knee injury during the affair. That the big-bodied tight end looks set to be evaluated in practice is at least a hint that his injury may not be significant, but an official update on Alie-Cox's health may not come until Indianapolis' first practice report of the week is released Wednesday.

OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Goes catchless in loss Alie-Cox failed to haul in his lone target Sunday in the Colts' 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Impact Following his six-catch, 111-yard outing Week 2, Alie-Cox remained useful for fantasy managers in the subsequent two weeks, but his production mostly came on the back of touchdowns in both of those games rather than steady target volume. After failing to reach the end zone Sunday, Alie-Cox's fantasy utility unsurprisingly eroded entirely, and more games like these could be on the docket 27-year-old in the weeks to come. With Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both healthy for the second game in a row after both previously missed time earlier in the season, Alie-Cox ranked third among Colts tight ends Sunday, playing just 21 of the team's 56 offensive snaps (37.5 percent).

Scores another TD Alie-Cox had one reception for a 13-yard touchdown on two targets in Sunday's win over Chicago.

Impact With injuries at wide receiver (Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman on IR), the Colts utilized three tight ends in the passing game against the Bears. Alie-Cox was a starter in a two-TE set with Jack Doyle. Alie-Cox played 33 of the offense's 72 snaps with Doyle playing 45 snaps and Trey Burton playing 36 snaps. It looks like all three tight ends will be active in the offense, but the setup likely makes Alie-Cox's fantasy value touchdown dependent. Still, he's scored a touchdown in two consecutive games.
