Walley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Cowboys.
Walley hurt his knee Week 7 against Minnesota and wasn't able to play last Sunday versus the Jaguars. He's still bothered by the issue and is set to miss a second straight game. Kapena Gushiken and Kenneth Harris figure to again log more defensive snaps as a result.

Rotowire
Walley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Walley tweaked his knee against the Vikings in Week 7, and he was unable to participate in any of the three Week 8 practice sessions. The good news for the Colts is that Sauce Gardner (calf) has been cleared to play Sunday, but Walley's absence means more defensive snaps in the secondary will be available for Kapena Gushiken and Kenneth Harris. Walley's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Rotowire
According to head coach Shane Steichen, Walley did not return to Sunday's 16-10 loss to Minnesota due to a knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Walley exited the Week 7 meeting with the Vikings in the third quarter and did not return. Until there is a more definitive update on his condition, he should be considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Jaguars. If Walley can't suit up for that contest, Cam Taylor-Britt (groin) and Kapena Gushiken are candidates for more snaps.

General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Walley is at the end of his rehab for the ACL tear he suffered in August of 2025, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Walley was unable to play at all last year after tearing his ACL during training camp, but there's optimism he'll be back to full strength when training camp begins in 2026. With veteran starting corner Kenny Moore seeking a trade away from Indianapolis, the team could be in more need of Walley's services when the new season starts than it thought it would be.
