Colts' Ashton Dulin: Ticketed for backup role
Dulin may play more on special teams after the Colts signed Keenan Allen this summer, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.
A thin depth chart put Dulin in position for a top-three role, but the Colts now hope to have Allen, Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf) all ready for Week 1. In all likelihood, Dulin is merely competing with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the No. 4 WR role at this point.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Competing for expanded role
Dulin has impressed at OTAs and mandatory minicamp and is making a push for the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Dulin said his approach has been "attacking [the offseason] as if it's my first year, knowing that, that [No. 3] spot is open." After the Colts traded Michael Pittman to Pittsburgh, Stephen Holder of ESPN concurs Dulin has taken an early lead for the No. 3 role over Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Laquon Treadwell and rookie seventh-round pick Deion Burks and was a standout at minicamp. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said Dulin has been moving around the offensive formation at practice and "can be really good for us this year on offense." The 29-year-old totaled a 5-106-0 line across 12 regular-season appearances in 2025 and has topped 200 receiving yards just once in his career.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Held without a catch in finale
Dulin could not secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to Houston.
Dulin suited up for 12 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2025, during which span he secured five of 10 targets for 106 receiving yards and logged three carries for 44 rushing yards. He also compiled a career-high 516 yards as a kick returner. He has one more year on his contract with Indianapolis, though the team has a potential "out" this offseason for only $670,000 in dead cap.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Ready to face Jags
Dulin (hamstring) has had his injury designation removed for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Dulin was initially listed as questionable to play Sunday, but after being activated from IR on Saturday he's now had that designation removed entirely. He'll be available to operate as a depth option in Indianapolis' wide receiver corps versus the Jaguars as well as to contribute on kick returns due to Anthony Gould (foot) having been placed on IR.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Returns from IR, still Q
Dulin (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve Saturday and remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.
Dulin is now eligible to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against Jacksonville, though his status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to the contest's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If cleared to play in Week 17, expect Dulin to resume handling his usual depth role on offense while also contributing in the return game.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Set to return to practice
The Colts designated Dulin (hamstring) for return from IR on Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Dulin landed on injured reserve Nov. 25 due to a hamstring injury. He's since missed the required four games and, with his designation to return, is eligible to be activated at any time. Indianapolis has 21 days to decide whether to activate Dulin, but he could play as soon as this Sunday against the Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, he had a minor role in the passing game and was also serving as one of the team's top kick returners.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Sent to IR with hamstring injury
The Colts placed Dulin (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
It's unclear when Dulin suffered the injury, but he'll now be required to miss at least the Colts' next four contests. Through 10 games this season, Dulin has logged a 5-106-0 receiving line on 132 offensive snaps while also seeing 161 snaps on special teams. Anthony Gould and Laquon Treadwell are next up on the depth chart behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and slot man Josh Downs.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Grabs 48-yard reception in loss
Dulin had one reception for 48 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
Dulin played nine snaps on offense. He's taken over as the clear fourth receiver after the trade of Adonai Mitchell, but has just two targets over his last four games. He's still a star on special teams, the unit where he gets the most usage.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Gets time at receiver
Dulin lost eight yards on his only reception in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
On the Colts' opening possession, Dulin ran backward on a short pass to dodge defenders, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as the Colts were forced to settle for a field goal when the drive stalled out. He finished the day with 13 snaps on offense, as Dulin got time late in the blowout win. Despite the relatively limited snap count, Dulin still saw the field more than Adonai Mitchell (nine snaps) and appears to be secure for now as the Colts' No. 4 wideout.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Practices in full Wednesday
Dulin (chest) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Dulin wasn't able to suit up for Indianapolis' win over the Chargers in Week 7, but he's now healthy and on track to retake the field Sunday at home versus Tennessee. With Josh Downs (concussion) limited at practice but still uncertain for Week 8, Dulin could get a chance to handle increased reps behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Will log another DNP on Friday
Dulin (chest) will remain a nonparticipant in practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Dulin has not practiced at all this week, suggesting he will likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The same is true for Josh Downs (concussion), so Adonai Mitchell has a nice opportunity to take on an increased role alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce if Mitchell can get back in the coaching staff's good graces. Anthony Gould rounds out the wide receiver depth chart.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Won't play in Week 7
Dulin (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould could get additional opportunities in the absences of both Dulin and Josh Downs (concussion). Dulin's next chance to play will come at home against the Titans in Week 8.

Colts' Ashton Dulin: Another DNP on Thursday
Dulin (chest) remained a non-participant in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Fellow wide receiver Josh Downs (concussion) remained sidelined Thursday as well. If neither Downs nor Dulin suit up Sunday against the Chargers, Adonai Mitchell or Anthony Gould would slide into three-receiver sets alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. Dulin could take on a larger role if he recovers in time to play Sunday and Downs doesn't.
