The Colts activated McGrone (elbow) from IR on Saturday and removed his injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans. McGrone will be available to suit up on the road versus Houston on Sunday. The veteran linebacker missed the start of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated elbow suffered during training camp, which required surgery. Now ready to retake the field, McGrone is expected to handle a depth role on defense for Indianapolis.
McGrone suffered a dislocated elbow during training camp, which led to his placement on injured reserve, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. McGrone's injury was previously unknown, but he clarified the issue with Boyd on Thursday. The Michigan product underwent surgery to help repair the injury and plans to return this season. Exactly how much longer he'll be out remains unclear, but his placement on IR before Week 1 means he'll be out at least three more weeks.
McGrone (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Tuesday. McGrone recorded four total tackles (three solo) with the Colts in the preseason, picking up an undisclosed injury at some point along the way. He'll now be sidelined for at least the four games of the season before being eligible to return in Week 5 versus the Jaguars on Oct. 6.
