2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football: Tyler Warren Groin Injury Reaction

The Colts' top tight end missed Wednesday's practice — here's what it means for your roster.

Tyler Warren did not practice Wednesday due to a groin injury suffered late last week, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Shane Steichen said Warren is "progressing really well" but deferred to the weekly injury report for any update on his status. Warren is currently listed as questionable heading into Indianapolis' Week 7 matchup against Minnesota on Sunday.

Warren leads the Colts with 30 receptions, 213 yards, and two receiving touchdowns, plus an additional rushing score — he's been the unquestioned centerpiece of this passing game. A non-participant on the first injury report of the week is a legitimate red flag, even with Steichen's optimistic tone. The "progressing well" framing is encouraging, but you cannot trust Warren's availability yet.

The Colts' injury report is crowded beyond Warren — Drew Ogletree (ankle) also did not practice at tight end, meaning Indianapolis could be thin at the position if Warren misses or is limited Sunday. Check Thursday and Friday's reports closely before making any lineup decisions. If Warren is ruled out or listed as doubtful by Friday, treat him as a fade for Week 7 and look for emergency TE cover immediately. Dynasty managers should not panic — groin injuries are frequently week-to-week, and nothing in the source story suggests a long-term concern.
