Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren could see an increased role in the offense after the team traded away key receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, according to Colts Wire reporter Duncan Day.
The trades of Downs and Allen, both significant pass-catching threats, create a void in the Colts' receiving corps that Warren, a versatile tight end, may be asked to fill. Warren, who has shown promise as both a blocker and receiver, now faces an opportunity to become a more prominent target in the passing game.
The Colts' offensive strategy appears to be shifting toward utilizing tight ends more heavily in the wake of these personnel changes. Warren's development will be closely watched as Indianapolis adjusts its offensive approach for the remainder of the season.
