The Colts activated McGrone (elbow) from IR on Saturday and removed his injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans. McGrone will be available to suit up on the road versus Houston on Sunday. The veteran linebacker missed the start of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated elbow suffered during training camp, which required surgery. Now ready to retake the field, McGrone is expected to handle a depth role on defense for Indianapolis.

McGrone suffered a dislocated elbow during training camp, which led to his placement on injured reserve, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. McGrone's injury was previously unknown, but he clarified the issue with Boyd on Thursday. The Michigan product underwent surgery to help repair the injury and plans to return this season. Exactly how much longer he'll be out remains unclear, but his placement on IR before Week 1 means he'll be out at least three more weeks.

McGrone (illness) was estimated as a full participant on Tuesday's practice report. The 23-year-old linebacker out of Michigan was held out of the Colts' Week 17 win over the Raiders due to an illness, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past that issue. McGrone has recorded three total tackles in 11 appearances this season, playing almost strictly on special teams (seven of 142 total snaps on defense).

McGrone (illness) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. McGrone was considered doubtful coming into the day, so his inclusion on the inactive list does not come as a surprise. Considering his work comes almost exclusively on special teams, his absence shouldn't impact the Colts' defense.

The Colts signed McGrone off the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. McGrone had been on New England's practice squad throughout the duration of the season without any game action to show for it, but he'll now have an opportunity to make his NFL debut playing for Indianapolis following Tuesday's transaction. With the Colts' upcoming contest landing on a Monday, the 236-pound linebacker will have an extra day to adapt to the new playbook and possibly receive limited rotational snaps.
