Indianapolis Professional Football Team opens Arden Key practice window
Per Abby Halpin’s Practice Notebook on Nov. 11, 2026, the Indianapolis Professional Football Team opened a 21-day practice window for defensive end Arden Key, who was placed on injured reserve Oct. 10 with a hamstring injury. Key was a full participant in his first practice back. The move gives the team the opportunity to activate him to the roster during the designated window.
Cornerback Justin Walley, who missed the previous two games with a knee injury, was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (groin), linebacker Jaylon Carlies (neck), linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), safety AJ Haulcy (ankle), long snapper Luke Rhodes (hamstring), tackle Jalen Travis (knee) and cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest) did not participate. The report listed each player’s status as part of the regular practice update.
Running back Jonathan Taylor was a limited participant because of a veteran rest day, and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery was limited with a calf issue. The Indianapolis Professional Football Team shared the full practice report on its social account and posted a graphic that included the hashtag #MIAvsIND. The report provided the latest availability notes as the team moved forward in its week of preparation.
NFL Sports Blog Take
Arden Key’s full participation after his Oct. 10 injured-reserve placement is a timely development for the Indianapolis Professional Football Team because it creates the option to re-add a defensive end during the 21-day window. Walley’s return to full activity is a positive sign for the secondary amid a week of limited practices and rest designations. The number of players listed as limited or nonparticipating underscores a fluid practice week that could affect game-day decisions. The team will need to monitor each player’s status as it finalizes the roster ahead of the matchup.
