Defensive end Arden Key has been activated from injured reserve as the Colts prepare to face the Dolphins after five consecutive losses. In separate roster moves, tight end Mo Alie-Cox and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither were put on injured reserve.

A hamstring injury kept Key out for the entire losing streak. Before that absence, he started the season’s first four games, recording five tackles along with a half-sack and a forced fumble.

Alie-Cox has a groin injury, while Davis-Gaither is dealing with a knee injury. Each will be sidelined for at least four games following the injured reserve moves.
