Indianapolis Professional Football Team rules out Ashton Dulin, Arden Key and Jaylon Carlies for Week 5
Head coach Shane Steichen announced Friday that wide receiver Ashton Dulin, defensive end Arden Key and linebacker Jaylon Carlies have been ruled out for Week 5. The Indianapolis Professional Football Team provided the roster update in its weekly “Who’s In, Who’s Out” report. Dulin has been listed with an ankle issue in recent team reports and has been ruled out for prior games, according to the club’s releases.
Dulin will miss Week 5 because of the ankle issue, the team said. The club did not provide additional injury details for Key or Carlies in the announcement. The team’s weekly updates frequently include multiple roster changes as it finalizes availability before game day.
The absences remove options at three positions the team uses regularly on both offense and defense. Steichen made the roster determinations Friday as the Indianapolis Professional Football Team finalized its availability for the upcoming game. The club will continue to release practice reports and roster updates ahead of the matchup.
NFL Sports Blog Take
The Indianapolis Professional Football Team will need to adjust its depth chart and game plan with three players unavailable for Week 5. Losing a wide receiver with an ongoing ankle issue again narrows options in the passing game, while missed snaps from a defensive end and a linebacker could affect rotational pass-rush and run-defense packages. Coaches will rely on backups and situational personnel to fill the gaps, and the team will monitor health reports closely as it prepares for the game.
