Jelani Woods, TE Mon, Oct 2: Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Woods (hamstring) will remain on injured reserve this week, implying that the tight end won't be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

BProland85 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t expect anything from Woods this season. Dude can’t get healthy for whatever reason. I traded him away from my dynasty football team this summer for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the depth at TE there’s no need to rush him back a second time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 My guess is he is healthy. They just don’t want to cut a TE. So when there is a injury he will be back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that there was some talk on these boards that the staff isn’t exactly pleased with his work ethic. Not sure if that also plays into this decision or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustexColt Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Holder said that Jelani came in at the preseason with some physical results that the staff had an issue with. I think this continues to be the issue until he fixes that. We do have four TEs as of now in rotation. Steichen is creatively using them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwing BBZ Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Ogeltree earned his own thread. Our HC got some good use out of him. He and AR should become nearly unstoppable one day. Hopefully Woods earns some PT this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 TE has become the most competitive position on the roster, and Woods has been languishing on PUP for weeks. I still think he's a physical matchup nightmare, but there are rumors that his prep and conditioning aren't where they should be, and now it's cost him a spot in the rotation. I don't know what will happen in the coming weeks, but until someone else drops off, it might be hard for Woods to get off PUP, let alone actually suit up on game day. He probably could have taken MAC's roster spot if he had been ready to go at the end of camp. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06cc Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Rather have him back healthy. Ogletree was out all of last season. Granson needs to step it up a bit. TE depth is fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granson needs to step it up a bit. TE depth is fine though. Ogletree looks really good. Cox having some big plays doesn’t help woods either. This is one position I am not worried about if he comes back or not. All our TE have looked pretty good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb41champs Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The Colts won't "open his 21-day window" until he is cleared to resume practice. It is my understanding that the plan is to use him in the down-field passing game. He's on the reserve list of my fantasy team. Time will tell.

He's probably our most physically gifted TE. But I am concerned for him. If the rumors about him showing up out of shape are true, and he's in the dog house, and we have four guys ahead of him... he might not see the field unless a couple guys get hurt.

John Waylon Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I’ve expressed more than once what a matchup nightmare I think Woods and Richardson can become. I just hope he gets back sooner than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mention of the rumors about Woods being out of shape are the first I’ve heard about it. And the poster I was responding to didn’t mention it either, so I don’t think it was part of his consideration. But since you have stated it, that certainly gets my attention and would be hugely disappointing if true. Very disappointing. Thanks for the 411.

I take them with a pinch of salt of course, rumors are all about driving agendas. He's a potential beast of a player. My rule of thumb for TEs is I expect their main production to come starting year 3. He's so gifted that i thought year 2 might be all it takes for him. He's a weapon in waiting for sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 More signs of the Cultural change that was needed in the organization. Players being held accountable for their performance, I love it. If Woods wants a career in the NFL, he wakes up quickly. Rumors of his lack of conditioning so early in his career is not what his professional brand needs. TE room is deep and I am a huge believer once Will Mallory gets back up on the active squad, he will be there to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 If Woods can get healthy (and get his head right?) he has unlimited potential. Right now, I'm loving what I'm seeing out of Ogletree as a receiver. Mo and Granson are inconsistent in that department. We do still need a Jack Doyle type... a plus blocker with reliable hands in the short game... that type of guy can help a young QB so much.

Did know about the injury but also saw his body isn’t where it needs to be. Sucks because he’s a physical freak and could be the AR of tight ends. Hopefully he gets it together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
