PITTSBURGH \u2013 The Colts on Sunday announced 5 inactive players for their Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium:<\/p>\n

The Colts on Saturday downgraded Slayton from questionable to out and placed defensive end Arden Key, who was ruled out Friday with a hamstring injury, on injured reserve. Key will miss at least the Colts’ next four games. The Colts on Saturday additionally elevated wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to their active roster from the practice squad.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the Colts opened tight end Will Mallory’s 21-day window, during which he can be activated from injured reserve. Mallory (thumb) was a full participant in practice this week but was not activated off injured reserve prior to Sunday’s game; the 2023 fourth-round pick sustained the injury in August prior to the Colts’ second preseason game.<\/p>\n
With Carlies out, look for rookie Bryce Boettcher to play quite a bit at WILL linebacker. And with Key sidelined, rookie defensive end George Gumbs Jr. is active for the first time this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH \u2013 The Colts on Sunday announced 5 inactive players for their Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[564,15299,125087,73,75,74],"class_list":["post-304532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-featured","tag-featured-news","tag-inactives-list","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
