Shifts to IR

The Colts placed Travis (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Travis was going to have trouble making the squad anyway, as the team had four tight ends on the roster. The third-year pro has 10 receptions for 91 yards and zero touchdowns through 21 NFL games.

Hurts right knee

Travis suffered an injury to his right knee in Thursday's preseason game, CBS 4 Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: The Colts were going to have a hard time keeping four tight ends, so Travis' injury may land him on IR or cause him to be released.

Leads team in targets Monday

Travis hauled in three catches for 29 yards in Monday's preseason game against the Ravens.

Analysis: Travis led the team with five targets Monday, but he was only able to bring in three and did most of his work on a single catch that went for 22 yards. Travis saw very limited action with the Colts last year, and he's fighting for a spot on the team's final roster as he enters the final season of his rookie contract.

Travis caught seven passes for 76 yards in 15 games with the Chiefs and Colts in 2017.

Analysis: Travis played 11 games with Kansas City prior to being waived and subsequently claimed by Indianapolis. The 25-year-old caught two passes for 33 yards in four games with the Colts and will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2018.

Travis brought in both of his targets for 33 yards in Thursday's 25-13 loss to Denver.

Analysis: Travis saw increased playing time on offense (10 snaps) with Brandon Williams suffering a concussion. It's possible he could be given a larger role in the offense for the balance of the season, due both to Williams' injury and the fact he's likely to have increased his knowledge of the playbook since joining the Colts in late November.

Travis was claimed off waivers by the Colts on Tuesday.

Analysis: It didn't take long for Travis to find a new home after being waived by the Chiefs on Monday. The 24-year-old played in all 11 games for the Chiefs this season, including three starts, recording five receptions for 43 yards. Travis isn't expected to see major offensive reps this Sunday with his new team, as he is one of five tight ends on the Colts' active roster.
