Key suffered a hamstring injury in last week's game. He will now have to miss a minimum of four games.

Losing Key for the time being further stresses the Colts ' defensive end depth, with Micheal Clemons on injured reserve as well. Jaylahn Tuimoloau will step into a starting role, while rookies Caden Curry and George Gumbs will likely assume larger roles.
The Colts also elevated Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the practice squad for Sunday's game. This move comes after Darius Slayto n was downgraded to out with a knee injury.
This is Westbrook-Ikhine's third and final game-day elevation. In the previous two weeks, he's played 28 special teams snaps and 12 on offense.
