Absent from practice

Grant (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Grant's absence from both of the team's first two practices of the week is cushioned by T.Y. Hilton's (hamstring) return to the field, as the Colts' top wideout logged a full session Wednesday and was in uniform again Thursday. Even if Grant is able to shake off the ankle issue and play Sunday against the Bills, Hilton's availability for the contest would likely hinder Grant's involvement in the passing game to some extent. Grant was targeted 14 times while Hilton sat out the past two weeks,…read more

Sidelined Wednesday

Grant (ankle) was absent from practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Grant still has some time to return to the practice field before Sunday's game against the Bills, but for now his status is cloudy. On the plus side from the Colts' perspective, top wideout T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) was able to practice Wednesday, offering hope that he'll be ready to return this week after a two-game absence.

Suffers ankle injury Sunday

Grant (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Jets after suffering an ankle injury.

Analysis: Prior to his exit, Grant had caught two of his five targets for 24 yards. With T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) already out, the Colts' Week 6 wideout corps is now headed by Chester Rogers, Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson.

Makes six grabs in loss

Grant brought in six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Colts' 38-24 loss to the Patriots on Thursday.

Analysis: With both T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and Jack Doyle (hip) sidelined, it was up to Grant and Chester Rogers to take on a large portion of the workload in the passing game. The veteran slot man did his part, posting season highs in both receptions and targets. Grant's 9.7 yards per reception was his lowest of the season thus far, but he's now seen his target total climb for three consecutive weeks. He'll look to continue offering serviceable PPR production against the Jets in Week 6.

Could step up sans Hilton

Grant and Chester Rogers will serve as the Colts' top two wide receivers while T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) is held out for Thursday's game in New England, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Despite playing more than 70 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps every week this season, Grant has accounted for just 12.3 percent of his team's target total, averaging 4.5 catches for 47 yards on 5.8 chances per game. He doesn't offer a ton of upside as a possession receiver, but there's a clear opportunity for volume in a matchup that likely will force Andrew Luck to chuck the ball around once again.

Sets season high in receiving yards

Grant nabbed five of seven targets for 64 yards Sunday in the Colts' 37-34 overtime loss to the Texans.

Analysis: Though T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) played less than half of the Colts' offensive snaps, Grant didn't benefit much from the absence, as Nos. 3 and 4 wideouts Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal instead saw double-digit targets in the shootout. Thanks to his team playing from behind for most of the contest, however, Grant still managed a season-best yardage total while Indianapolis called 66 passing plays against 17 runs. The rough state of the Colts' ground game could lead to another shootout Thursday…read more

Scores in loss

Grant nabbed three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Grant slipped past his defender and connected with Andrew Luck in the back of the end zone on a game-tying five-yard fade late in the first quarter. It was a welcome bit of good news for Grant who has seen just six passes over the last two games after being targeted nine times in the opener. It'll be interesting to see how Grant's role evolves as Luck's health presumably improves in the coming weeks. On one hand, a healthier Luck is better for the Colts as a whole. On the other, the short…read more

Just two receptions Sunday

Grant had two receptions for 30 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Washington.

Analysis: Grant didn't repeat the heavy usage of Week 1 (eight receptions and nine targets), but he still played the second most snaps on offense (43 snaps) of a receiver after T.Y. Hilton (55). He also played significantly more snaps than third receiver Chester Rogers (26 snaps) even though Rogers had three receptions. Grant still looks like the No. 2 option, but no receiver after Hilton had more than three receptions Sunday.

Snags eight catches in opener

Grant caught eight of nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's season-opening 34-23 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Grant was Andrew Luck's target of choice underneath, with none of his gains going for more than 13 yards. Indianapolis aired it out 53 times in this one, so it's fair to question whether this workload is sustainable for Grant. That being said, he seems to have emerged as the team's second-best wide receiver after T.Y. Hilton.

Gets first preseason reception

Grant had one reception for 17 yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Grant and Chester Rogers had the same number of snaps on offense, so it's not exactly clear how the playing time will be divided among wide receivers after T.Y. Hilton. By all accounts Grant won the No. 2 receiver role in training camp, but he had just one reception in three preseason games.

Draws start at wideout Monday

Grant saw action on 34 snaps on offense in Monday's 20-19 preseason loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Though Grant did not haul in either of his two targets Monday, he was in the Colts' starting lineup. Grant is currently a favorite to remain there come Week 1 and thus set to work as the team's No. 2 wideout opposite T.Y. Hilton (shoulder). It's a context that could yield fantasy dividends for Grant investors if QB Andrew Luck -- who is bouncing back from a lingering shoulder issue -- is able to find his pre-injury groove.

Lack of action Thursday

Grant did not have a reception and was not targeted in Thursday's preseason win at Seattle. However, he did work with the first-team offense as the No. 2 receiver.

Analysis: We wouldn't read too much into his lack of stats in Thursday's game. He began the game out wide as the No. 2 receiver and all reports in training camp indicate he's got a solid lead on the role. With Andrew Luck looking healthy, Grant could be a sleeper as one of Luck's primary targets.

Taking lead on No. 2 WR role

Grant has started to separate himself from the pack in training camp and has become the clear leader for the No. 2 wide receiver role, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis: Grant, Chester Rogers, Deon Cain and K.J. Brent are the leading candidates for the No. 2 and No. 3 roles, which remain in flux during the preseason as it's a wide open battle. However, Grant appears to have the lead for the No. 2 job ahead of Thursday's first preseason game.

Begins camp with No. 2 WR role

Grant has received the most work as the No. 2 wide receiver in the first week of training camp, but he's not very far ahead of Chester Rogers, 1070 am ESPN Indianapolis reports.

Analysis: Grant, Rogers and Deon Cain are the leading candidates for the No. 2 and No. 3 roles, which look wide open at the moment. The No. 2 and No. 3 receivers could have significant increased fantasy value in Indy's offense compared to last season, with Andrew Luck increasingly looking ready for the start of the regular season.

Grant was working as the team's No. 2 wideout during Wednesday's OTAs, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis: Chester Rogers was initially considered the favorite to earn the No. 2 role opposite T.Y. Hilton, but it appears Grant may have moved ahead of him in the pecking order. There is still a lot of time before the regular season begins and the Colts have a number of players to get a look at during the preseason, but Grant has put himself in a good position for reps in the early going.

Settles for one year, $5 million

Grant (ankle) is signing a one-year, $5 million contract with the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Grant had his four-year, $29 million contract with the Ravens voided by a failed physical, though many have speculated that Baltimore simply had buyer's remorse and preferred to sign a more proven player in Michael Crabtree. The 2014 fifth-round pick enjoyed a breakout of sorts in Washington last season, catching 45 of 65 targets for 573 yards (8.8 YPT) and four scores, besting his reception, yardage and touchdown totals from the previous three years combined. Grant did hurt his ankle in Week…read more

Grant (ankle) is reportedly nearing a deal with the Colts, according to Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News.

Analysis: Grant previously had a deal with the Ravens that was voided when he didn't pass a physical with the team, but the Colts subsequently determined the 27-year-old's ankle issue isn't a significant concern. As a result, Grant is poised to join a wideout corps that could really use him, following the free agent departure of Donte Moncrief. T.Y. Hilton remains atop the depth chart on that front and if Grant indeed heads to Indy, opportunity knocks for him in an offense set to be manned by a…read more

Passes physical during visit with Colts

Grant (ankle) passed a physical during his visit with the Colts on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Grant agreed to a four-year, $29 million contract with the Ravens earlier this week, but the deal was voided due to a failed physical. The 27-year-old is leaving Indianapolis without a contract, but the team passing him on the physical remains a good sign for his future prospects as the ankle injury doesn't appear to be a significant concern for each team. Next up for Grant is a visit to the Raiders, which could be looking to add some depth behind Amari Cooper and new addition Jordy Nelson.

Believes ankle is fine

Grant's agent Rocky Arceneaux said Friday that the wideout would be able to play in an NFL game "tomorrow" even though the Ravens nullified his contract Thursday after examining his ankle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Ravens agreed to sign Grant to a four-year, $29 million contract that included $14 million guaranteed, but the team backed out after examining his ankle during a physical, with general manager Ozzie Newsome saying they consulted "many doctors around the country", per Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun. Arceneaux disagrees with the assessment, noting that Grant has been fine to work out and run routes during the offseason and already has been cleared by renowned foot and ankle specialist Dr.…read more

Pact with Ravens voided following failed physical

Grant's four-year contract with the Ravens that was agreed to earlier in the week has been voided after he failed his physical on Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: This is a shocking reversal after the Ravens and Grant had agreed to a four-year deal worth $29 million earlier in the week with $14.5 million guaranteed. Grant was expected to take on a significant role in Baltimore's passing game on the heels of his career-year in Washington in 2017. Details have yet to be disclosed as to the reason behind the failed physical, but Schefter's report that the deal was voided means that Grant is now a free agent. Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports that Baltimore…read more

Grant is expected to signed a contract with the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Grant put together his best NFL season in 2017 with 45 receptions for 573 yards and four touchdowns. According to Rapoport, it is a four-year deal worth $29 million with $14.5 million guaranteed, as the Ravens clearly expect him to continue to improve in 2018. The 28-year-old looks to be Baltimore's top wide receiver at this point along with fellow newcomer John Brown, with Mike Wallace headed for free agency and Jeremy Maclin a potential cap casualty.

Grant recorded career-highs across the board with 45 receptions for 573 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games this season.

Analysis: Grant has been a depth option at wideout for the Washington over the previous three seasons, but he saw a spike in productivity in 2017, ending the year as the team's No. 3 option at the position. Grant could not have picked a much better time to have the best season of his career, as he now enters the market as an unrestricted free agent. The Redskins have their core targets of Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Jordan Reed (hamstring/toe) all under contract for next season, but they'd be wise…read more

Grant hauled in four of six targets for 85 yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Analysis: Grant had arguably his best game of the season against a tough Broncos defense, recording two 20+ yard receptions on his way to a season-high 85 receiving yards. The No. 3 wideout will look to go out with a bang to end the season as the Redskins face a Giants' passing defense that ranks second-worst in the league in yards allowed.

Grant recorded two receptions for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Since a five-reception performance Week 13, Grant has only managed three receptions for 48 yards on four targets. The wideout was limited the entire week of practice with an ankle injury, which may have been a factor in his quiet performance Sunday. He'll look to get back on track this Sunday against the Broncos, who boast one of the best passing defenses in the league.

Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Cardinals.

Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout will be out there after putting in a trio of limited practices this past week. Grant logged one reception for 28 yards versus the Chargers in Week 14, but he's posted between three and a season-high five catches in 10 other contests this season. Therefore, he's capable of offering modest production to fantasy owners in deeper formats who might find themselves in a pinch at receiver during the fantasy postseason.

Grant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Grant injured his ankle in last week's 30-13 loss to the Chargers, finishing with one catch for 28 yards on his only target. His ability to practice in a limited capacity throughout the week suggests he's on the right side of questionable for a tough matchup against the Cardinals. While efficient with a limited workload, Grant has drawn more than three targets in just one of six games since the end of October.

Grant (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Mike Jurecki of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Analysis: Grant came out of Sunday's loss to the Chargers with the ankle issue, but his participation in practice Wednesday in any capacity bodes well for his outlook heading into the Week 15 matchup with the Cardinals. If cleared to suit up for that contest, Grant, who was limited to one catch for 28 yards against Los Angeles, would likely serve as the Redskins' No. 3 wideout.

Grant suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: Grant played 30 of 50 snaps in Sunday's game and never officially exited with an injury, but head coach Jay Gruden indicated he is currently considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old's status for Week 15 should become clearer when the Redskins resume practice Wednesday.

Grant brought in his sole target for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: Grant made a decent impact with his one catch, but it was nevertheless disappointing to see him receive just one look from Kirk Cousins. The four-year pro has seen his numbers fluctuate, but Sunday's downturn especially stood out in light of the fact that Grant had just posted a season-high 76 yards on five receptions in Week 13. He'll look to bounce back against the Cardinals in a Week 15 battle, but given the generally erratic nature of his production, the 26-year-old is hard to trust in the…read more

Grant brought in five of eight targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 38-14 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: Grant drew even with Jamison Crowder for the team lead in catches while pacing the Redskins in receiving yards and targets. The 26-year-old also logged his fourth touchdown of the season by bringing in a 20-yard scoring dart from Kirk Cousins in the second quarter. Grant's involvement has fluctuated throughout the season, but he clearly has a solid amount of rapport with Cousins and could continue to see an expanded role over the last quarter of the season. He'll look to build in Thursday's…read more

Grant hauled in one of his two targets for three yards in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Analysis: Grant was questionable coming into the contest with a calf injury, which may explain the wideout's quiet performance. Before Thursday night, Grant had at least three receptions in every contest since Week 4. After getting some extra rest this weekend, he should be in much better shape for Thursday's showdown with the Cowboys.

Grant (calf) will play Thursday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Now that Terrelle Pryor (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, Grant should see an increased role. However, it's thought that he may be limited Thursday in the wake of his recovery, so fantasy owners outside of deeper leagues should tread lightly. The fourth-year wideout has 30 receptions for 338 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Grant (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Grant was limited in practice throughout the week after sustaining a calf injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints. While Grant looks like he'll be less than 100 percent healthy for the Thanksgiving Day matchup, the expectation is that he'll suit up in the contest and take on a healthy snap count with Terrelle Pryor (ankle) landing on injured reserve earlier this week.

Grant (calf) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.

Analysis: Grant picked up the calf injury in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints, during which he finished with three receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown. The wideout's participation in practice to some extent two days later suggests the calf issue isn't a major concern, but Grant's status bears watching with the Redskins facing a quick turnaround for their Thursday night matchup with the Giants.

Grant (calf) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Analysis: Grant returned from a concussion to catch all three of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints. He apparently picked up a calf injury along the way, but the Redskins' decision to list him as limited suggests he's on track to take the field on Thanksgiving. Grant, Jamison Crowder and Josh Doctson have been operating as Washington's regular trio in three-wide formations.

Grant (concussion) caught all three of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints.

Analysis: Grant's 40-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter gave the visitors a 24-13 lead, and that advantage eventually ballooned to 31-16 before New Orleans staged a comeback in the final minutes. The 26-year-old wide receiver has scored three touchdowns this season, but Grant's season high in yardage has remained at 61 since he accrued that total in Week 1.

Grant (concussion) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Analysis: After suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Vikings, Grant's availability was at the behest of the league's protocol for head injuries. Given clearance to play, he'll earn a third consecutive start with both Terrelle Pryor (ankle) and Brian Quick (concussion) unavailable Week 11.

Grant (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Analysis: Grant suffered the injury during last week's 38-30 loss to the Vikings and was a limited practice participant from Wednesday through Friday. With Brian Quick (concussion) also listed as questionable and Terrelle Pryor (ankle) already ruled out for the contest, the Redskins may have little choice but to use Maurice Harris alongside Jamison Crowder and Josh Doctson in three-wideout sets. Grant's availability may not be known until inactives are released approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's…read more

Grant (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

Analysis: Grant remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the Redskins having yet to clear him for full practices as a result. Even if Grant is able to take part in all drills Friday, it won't guarantee that he'll be available Sunday against the Saints, as he would still need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. The slot receiver has been a fairly stable week-to-week producer with exactly three receptions in four of the Redskins' past five…read more

Grant was placed into concussion protocol after Sunday's game against the Lions.

Analysis: Grant has been targeted 36 times this season, hauling in 27 receptions for 279 yards and two touchdowns. On top of that, he's been targeted six times in the red zone, making him worthy of fantasy consideration in deeper leagues. If Grant can't recover by Week 11, Maurice Harris and Brian Quick (concussion) could handle larger workloads than normal.

Grant has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup with the Vikings after sustaining a concussion, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Analysis: Grant was taken out of the game earlier and evaluated for a concussion, but he was put back into the game after being cleared. He's now officially out the the rest of Sunday's contest, though, so Maurice Harris will slot in as the No. 4 wideout for the rest of the afternoon.

Grant hauled in all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: With Jamison Crowder (hamstring) sidelined for Sunday's win, Grant saw his highest offensive snap count of the season (59). The depth wideout is averaging three receptions per contest this season but could see more action this Sunday against the Vikings if Crowder is ruled out again.
