        Colts TE Jelani Woods had successful surgery on his turf toe and will be out for multiple months. He may be able to return toward the end of the season to help the Colts make a push to the playoffs.

        What They're Saying

        Jordan Schultz: "Colts TE Jelani Woods underwent successful surgery today for turf toe and will miss about four months. The team is hopeful that Woods can return around Christmas in time for a playoff push."

        2024 Fantasy Football Impact

        Woods has had an injury-plagued career, including a hamstring injury last season that kept him off the field for most of the year.

        He now suffered a severe turf toe injury that will cause him to miss most, if not all, of the 2024 regular season.

        Woods is one of the most athletic TEs to ever enter the NFL, but injuries has derailed his career. If Woods could get healthy, he has plenty of upside, but multiple injuries may have already taken their toll on the TE.

        The Colts TE depth is weak behind Woods with Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox serving as the back-ups. Granson is likely to serve as the Colts starter while Woods is on the sideline.
