Scoring Zone's Take
Tyler Warren's early exit from Colts practice with what's being reported as a groin issue is worth flagging on your draft board, but there's not enough here to panic. Both sources carry only moderate confidence and no detail on severity or expected recovery time, so treat this as a "monitor" situation rather than a red flag. Groin injuries can range from a minor tweak that costs a player a day or two of practice to something that lingers into the season, and right now you simply don't have the information to know which this is.
For fantasy purposes, Warren entered camp as one of the more intriguing rookie tight end situations given his draft investment and the Colts' need at the position, so any missed practice time is notable purely because it eats into his reps to build rapport with the quarterback and learn the offense during a critical development window. If this were to persist into the preseason games or joint practices, it would be more concerning for his rookie-year role. As of now, treat his draft stock as unchanged but keep him lower on your board than a rookie tight end with a clean camp, and avoid reaching for him until you get a clearer update on the groin issue's severity.
Actionable takeaway heading into your draft: don't downgrade Warren significantly based on this alone, but build in a contingency plan at tight end and check for practice-report updates before your draft, since a groin injury that lingers could meaningfully affect his early-season workload and route-running ability.
