During the team’s third preseason game last night, the Indianapolis Colts were without their two top tight ends, as Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen were out with injuries.

Fleener continues to recover from a sprained right knee. He was sidelined by a concussion earlier in training camp, but he’s since been cleared of that. It’s not clear what impact his current knee injury will have on the start of the regular season, but the Colts haven’t indicated that the tight end is at risk of missing Week 1.

Allen is a little farther along in his recovery from injury, as he returned to Colts’ practice last week. Still, head coach Chuck Pagano decided on Thursday that Allen wouldn’t suit up for the team’s third preseason game, as the team continues to take a precautious approach with his right foot injury.

Fleener, who was teammates at Stanford with quarterback Andrew Luck, is expected by many to take a big step forward this season. He should have an opportunity to show what he can do starting Week 1, and it also sounds like Allen will be available for the start of the regular season.
