Carlies (hip) missed practice Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports. Carlies, a fifth-round 2025 draft pick, is expected to transition to linebacker after playing safety in college, so any missed time in training camp could slow his development.

Carlies is expected to transition to linebacker after playing safety in college, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports. There were questions about Carlies coverage ability coming out of Missouri and entering the 2024 Draft, but his speed and playmaking skills still earned him a fifth-round selection by the Colts. Due to those skills, along with his ability to tackle, the transition to linebacker makes sense for the 22-year-old.
