Colts' Ashton Dulin: Questionable to face Tennessee
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Dulin was able to get in a full practice Friday following a limited session Thursday. With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out, Dulin and rookie Adonai Mitchell are expected to see increased snaps behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs. Dulin has missed the last two games and is known more for his blocking prowess at the position. He has two catches for 67 yards and one touchdown this season but hasn't caught a pass since Week 2.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Limited in Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Dulin has been sidelined for the Colts' last two games due to an ankle injury he suffered against the Lions in Week 12. His return to practice Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and logging a full practice Friday would put him on track to play against the Titans on Sunday. Dulin has been held without a catch since Week 2 against the Packers.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Ruled out to face Denver
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Dulin won't be available for the Colts in Week 15 due to an ankle injury that's kept him sidelined since he initially suffered it Week 12 against Detroit. With Dulin unavailable, rookie fifth-round pick Anthony Gould could get a chance to contribute in a depth role on offense, as well as on special teams.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Not spotted at Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) is not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Dulin hasn't played since Week 12 due to an ankle injury, and despite the Colts being fresh off a bye, it appears the depth wideout is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos. If Dulin is indeed unable to suit up versus Denver, his absence will most be felt by Indianapolis on special teams.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Dulin missed the Colts' Week 13 win over the Patriots and has yet to return to practice since sustaining an ankle injury the game prior. The Malone product will likely be sidelined for the second consecutive game in a Week 15 matchup against the Broncos if he can't practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday. However, if he can play in Sunday's contest, he'll primarily add value to Indianapolis' special-teams unit.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Ruled out for Week 13
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against New England, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Foster injured his ankle last Sunday against the Lions, and he won't suit up versus the Patriots after being unable to practice all week. The fifth-year wideout hasn't recorded a catch since Week 2, so his absence isn't likely to have a significant impact on Indianapolis' offensive game plan. The Colts are on bye next week, which will give Dulin extra time to try to recover in time for Week 15.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Not practicing again
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Wednesday's session was just a walkthrough session but Thursday's was a regular practice. Dulin exited Sunday's loss to the Lions with the injury. Now, he'll likely need to get in some sort of work Friday to have a chance to play this Sunday against the Patriots.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Will not return Sunday
Rotowire
Dulin (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The wide receiver was unable to catch his only target of the day before leaving the contest. With Josh Downs questionable to return due to a shoulder injury, Indianapolis is down to three healthy wide receivers in Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: One carry in loss
Rotowire
Dulin had one carry for nine yards but didn't have any targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Dulin played on 15 of the offense's 70 snaps as the Colts frequently deployed multiple-receiver sets while playing from behind much of the game. Dulin is a key special-teams player, but he won't get many more snaps per game as the No. 5 receiver on offense, barring injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: No receptions in win
Rotowire
Dulin didn't have a reception on his only target in Sunday's win over Chicago.
While Dulin didn't have a reception, it was notable he worked as the No. 4 receiver and played more snaps on offense (14) than Adonai Mitchell (7) with the return of Josh Downs from an ankle injury. Dulin is a key special teams player but won't get many snaps on offense barring injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Just one reception in loss
Rotowire
Dulin had one reception for 13 yards on two targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay.
Dulin played on 24 of the offense's 56 snaps as he got time as the fourth receiver with Josh Downs (ankle) out. Dulin's role on offense could be reduced if Downs is able to return against Chicago in Week 3. Dulin remains a key player on special teams, however.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Scores TD in season opener
Rotowire
Dulin had one reception for a 54-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Dulin played on 11 of the offense's 45 snaps as he got time as the fourth receiver. He played more snaps than Anthony Gould (seven) among the reserve receivers. Dulin is unlikely to play a major role if the top three or four receivers (Josh Downs could return this week from an ankle injury) are healthy.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Misses game with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Dulin (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.
Dulin missed practice Friday with a hamstring injury, and the severity of the injury isn't clear. He suffered a season-ending torn ACL back in August 2023 but had returned to practice at full speed at the start of training camp.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Participating fully in practice
Rotowire
Dulin (knee) was a full-go in the Colts' Friday practice and is a "frequent flyer for [Joe] Flacco during 11-on-11s," Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated reports.
Dulin suffered a season-ending torn ACL back in August of 2023, but his recovery journey now looks to be complete. The 6-foot-1 wide receiver has been practicing fully with Indianapolis, and it appears he also has created a solid connection with backup quarterback Joe Flacco ahead of the season.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Back for camp
Rotowire
Dulin was spotted working out during Thursday's practice, Jake Arthur of SI.com reports.
The Malone product is continuing to work back from the ACL tear he suffered before the beginning of Indianapolis' 2023 season, but it's a positive sign to see him on the field at all. If the recovery process continues going well for Dulin, he could be a full participant in practices in the near future.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Progressing, but without timeline
Rotowire
Dulin, who tore his ACL during training camp last season, said Wednesday that he still doesn't have a timetable for his return to full football activities, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Dulin is feeling good and doing work on the field, which at least notes that he's making progress on some level in his recovery from knee surgery. The 26-year-old probably would have operated as the team's No. 4 wideout had he been healthy in 2023, and he'll likely be competing for the same role in 2024 once he's back to 100 percent.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Colts placed Dulin (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Dulin suffered a knee injury in Wednesday's practice and was diagnosed with a season-ending torn ACL. The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $7.2 million deal with Indy in the offseason and is under contract through 2024. Dulin's loss will be felt mainly on special teams.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Suffers torn ACL
Rotowire
Dulin suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Dulin is thus presumably headed for IR, with an injury that Schefter notes is season-ending. In 12 games for the Colts last season, Dulin caught 15 passes for 207 yards and a TD, and his extended absence will represent a hit to the depth of an Indy wideout corps that is led by Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Isaiah McKenzie and Josh Downs.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Suffers injury Wednesday
Rotowire
Dulin was carted off the field during Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Dulin worked with the second-team offense in the Colts' preseason opener against the Bills last week as he tries to win a role as the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver. The Colts view Dulin as a core special teams player, so he should be a safe bet to make the team's Week 1 roster, provided his injury isn't serious enough to warrant placement on injured reserve.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: One reception in preseason opener
Rotowire
Dulin had one reception for seven yards on his lone target in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.
Dulin worked with the second-team offense as he tries to win a role as the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver. Dulin's 2022 season got off to a strong start, and he appeared to be gaining traction as the Colts' No. 2 or No. 3 receiver, but then he hurt his foot. He had 12 receptions for 168 yards on 18 targets over his first five games, but after missing the next four games with the injury, he was limited to just three receptions for 39 yards in six games. Dulin has been an impact player on special teams, so he should find a spot on the roster in any scenario.
