US EditionThe Colts Look Like They’ve Found a Difference-Making Tight End in Rookie Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren set franchise records with 7 catches for 76 yards in his debut as the Colts secured their first season-opening win in 12 years.
- Rookie tight end Tyler Warren was pivotal in the Indianapolis Colts' 33-8 win over Miami on Sunday, as the Colts scored on all seven possessions, a first since at least 1978.
- The Colts drafted Tyler Warren after evaluating his Penn State tape and camp work, seeking to fill a longtime need for a versatile tight end rare to find in the draft.
- In concrete terms, Warren's debut included catching seven passes for 76 yards on nine targets, displaying versatility by lining up in-line, at receiver, and fullback, while 260-pound Colts head coach Shane Steichen praised his agility and creative usage in personnel groupings.
- If Warren keeps playing like this, the Indianapolis Colts could end their four-year playoff drought after securing their first season-opening victory in a dozen years, and they host Denver on Sunday.
- Coaching staff cautioned that finishing drives needs work and Indianapolis must improve red-zone touchdowns in the coming weeks; injuries to Jaylon Jones, Charvarius Ward, and limited snaps for Jonathan Taylor pose depth challenges.
