Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods will miss approximately four months following surgery for a turf toe injury, potentially sidelining him until Week 16 or 17 of the NFL season. This marks another setback for Woods, who also missed all of last season due to a hamstring injury. In Woods' absence, Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, and Will Mallory are expected to handle tight end duties for the Colts. Head coach Shane Steichen expressed both optimism and frustration over Woods' injury, given his inconsistent performance during training camp. The injury adds to the uncertainty of Woods' position on the team, complicating the Colts' roster decisions as they prepare for the upcoming season.
