TheColts placedCarlies (ankle) on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Carlies picked up an ankle injury during the Colts' preseason opener against the Ravens, which caused him to miss the team's next two exhibition contests. By being placed on IR, The 2024 fifth-rounder will be forced to miss at least four games, making Week 5 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 5 the earliest he can make his 2025 regular-season debut. Carlies finished his rookie campaign with 36 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense across 10 regular-season games.

Carlies (ankle) did not play in Saturday's preseason loss to Green Bay.

Carlies suffered an ankle injury in theColts' preseason opener against the Ravens and there isn't yet a timetable for his return. The Indianapolis secondary could be limited to begin the season with Carlies, Jaylon Jones (hamstring), cornerback JuJu Brents (hamstring) and Kenny Moore II (knee) all out with injuries.

Carlies suffered an ankle injury in theColts' preseason opener against the Ravens on Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Carlies is without a timetable for his return, according to Boyd. Carlies was a fifth-round pick in last year's NFL Draft, and he appeared in 10 regular-season games as a rookie, finishing with 36 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

Carlies (shoulder) is the favorite to start at linebacker opposite Zaire Franklin heading into training camp, the Indianapolis Star reports. "We think (Carlies) can really ascend," GM Chris Ballard said recently.

Carlies moved from safety to linebacker last season and started six games. He recorded 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended over 231 defensive snaps in 10 games. He underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and missed spring practices, but he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Carlies (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The second-year pro from Missouri underwent offseason shoulder surgery, so it's no surprise he was unable to practice Wednesday. Carlies appeared in 10 games during his rooking campaign, recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended over 231 defensive snaps. Once Carlies returns from injury, he's expected to serve as one of Indianapolis' top linebackers.

Carlies finished with 36 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with one defensed pass across 10 contests during the regular season in 2024.

After being drafted in the fifth round of last April's NFL Draft, Carlies worked largely in a rotational role, though he did make six starts. He played more than half of Indianapolis' defensive snaps just once, recording 10 tackles Week 16 against Tennessee. Carlies also endured a stint on IR due to a lower-leg injury but returned in time to play in theColts' final three contests of the campaign. He'll be in the second year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Carlies recorded 10 total tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Titans.

Carlies, a 2024 fourth-round pick from Missouri, made the first start of his young career in Week 16 in place of the injured E.J. Speed (knee). He played 98 percent of theColts' defensive snaps and recorded a team-high 10 total tackles. Speed could return to the field as soon as Indianapolis' Week 17 matchup against the Giants; however, he's set to hit free agency at the end of the season. Sunday's divisional matchup may have served as a tryout for Carlies, and he impressed throughout the contest.

TheColts activatedCarlies (lower leg/shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday and removed his injury designation for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee.

Carlies has missed Indianapolis' past seven contests while recovering from a lower-leg injury he suffered Week 7 against Miami. He was designated to return from IR on Dec. 11 and, after remaining on injured reserve for last Sunday's loss to Broncos, was able to log a trio of full practices this week. Carlies will likely maintain the same rotational role on defense he held prior to getting hurt, and he had also been contributing on special teams.

Carlies (lower leg) remains on injured reserve and will not play Sunday against the Broncos.

The rookie linebacker was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday after missing six games, but he clearly still needs more time before he can play in another contest. Carlies has played a depth role for theColts this season, logging 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on 137 defensive snaps.

Carlies (lower leg) is expected to be a game-time call for Sunday's Week 15 battle against the Broncos, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Carlies called himself a game-time decision after theColts deemed him questionable for Sunday. The rookie linebacker remains on IR, and he'll need to be activated Saturday in order to be eligible to suit up Sunday. Carlies set himself up for a possible return by logging a trio of full practices this week.

Carlies (lower leg) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

The rookie linebacker from Missouri sustained a lower leg injury in theColts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins and has missed all six of Indianapolis' games since. However, Carlies returned to practice Wednesday, opening the 21-day window for him to be added back to the active roster. Expect the 23-year-old to contribute on both defense and special teams once he's fully past his lower leg injury.

TheColts placedCarlies (lower leg) on IR on Saturday.

Carlies will now have to spend at least the next four games on injured reserve as he works his way back from a lower leg injury sustained Week 7 versus the Dolphins. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a rotational role through seven regular-season appearances, and he's recorded 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed in that span.
