        Colts Activate Jaylon Carlies; JuJu Brents Still on IR

        The Colts have activated LB Jaylon Carlies from IR, and he is active for today's game against the Titans. CB JuJu Brents remains on IR, despite recently returning to practice.

        Carlies hasn't played since leaving Week 7 with leg and shoulder injuries. He was the next guy up last time E.J. Speed was out, though, and might be the team's best cover LB.

        That could prove especially important against a Titans offense that uses TEs and RBs liberally in the passing game.

        LB Grant Stuard delivered a big tackle total in the game Carlies left early, with Speed also out. It's not clear how playing time will get split between him and Carlies in this contest -- which will also not include Speed (knee injury).

        That uncertainty means you probably shouldn't roll with either guy in your IDP lineup if you can help it.

        I've projected them for split playing time, with Carlies slightly higher in the IDP rankings.
