Colts place Arden Key on injured reserve with hamstring injury

The Indianapolis Colts placed defensive end Arden Key on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury.

Key was hurt in the team's win over the Washington Commanders in London last Sunday.

He must miss at least four games before he can return to the active roster.

Key played 64% of the Colts' defensive snaps this season, so his absence leaves a gap in the defense.

The team has added veteran Carl Lawson to its practice squad, and second-year player Jaylahn Tuimoloau may take on a bigger role.

The Colts also promoted receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the practice squad after ruling out Darius Slayton for their Week 5 game at Pittsburgh.

Westbrook-Ikhine has appeared in two other games this season.
