What happened: Sources expect Key to miss about 3-4 weeks with the hamstring injury. Shane Steichen said Monday the starting pass rusher would miss some time.

Why it matters: Losing a starter tests edge depth during the 2026 regular season. Indianapolis must reshuffle pass-rush snaps over the next month.

By the numbers: Key: 22 tackles, 4 sacks in 12 games in 2025 with Titans (per ESPN, as of 2026-09-29). Drafted 3rd round, 87th overall, in 2018 out of LSU.

What to watch: Watch for updated practice designations and who takes first-team edge reps. A return timeline will clarify near the end of October.
