Cox started at tight end and didn't have a reception on his lone target in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.
Cox got the start at tight end with Jack Doyle sitting out. While Cox didn't show much on offense, he proved he's healthy after missing two weeks of practice due to a knee injury. Doyle looks set to remain the starter, and the Colts value Alie-Cox's blocking and in-line work, but Alie-Cox could emerge as a red-zone threat due to his height (6-foot-5) and promising hands.
