2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 fifth-round pick, Carlies was limited to 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie due to a lower-leg injury that necessitated a stint on IR, but he returned for the Colts' last three games. Though Carlies mostly played a rotational role Year 1, only playing 50-plus percent of snaps in one game, he enters 2025 staring down a notable opportunity on defense, mostly due to Indianapolis' shallow linebacker depth chart behind Zaire Franklin.

Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that Carlies (ankle) will not be activated from the injured reserve list ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro from Missouri practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday but is still not ready for in-game action. Carlies has yet to play this season after posting 36 total tackles across 10 games in 2024. Once fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of the Colts' top linebackers.
