Colts TE Tyler Warren is expected to miss about a week with a minor groin injury suffered in training camp, source says. No worries for Week 1.

Time will tell if we see Warren back out there for the rest of the preseason, but it looks like his Week 1 availability is in no danger. Unless we come across a setback, this should have no impact on how we view any Indy pass-catchers.

Carnell Tate reportedly took a big hit at the end of Tennessee Titans practice on Monday. Robert Saleh said afterwards that he was a bit shaken up, but that they did not think he had a concussion. So no real cause for concern until practice started today and there was no sign of Tate.

The good news is that Saleh said after practice today that Tate was held out because of stiffness. His absence today was not related to the hit he took earlier in the week. Hopefully, he will be available for the joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. That is valuable work for a rookie.

Saleh’s explanation makes this sound minor, but Tate is being selected in the sixth round, so any extended time missed will start to put his role on what could be a pretty bad offense in question. His participation Friday should clarify whether Wednesday was merely precautionary.

Rachaad White missed practice with an injury, allowing Allen to get more work behind Croskey-Merritt.

One absence without a diagnosis is primarily something to monitor, but White’s ranking already trails his market price by 27 spots. Any extended absence would strengthen Croskey-Merritt’s grip on the lead role, while Allen could become more interesting in deeper formats.
