Just one target Sunday
Cain had one target but no receptions in Sunday's win over Tennessee. He did get the start as the No. 2 receiver and played on 32 of the offense's 70 snaps.
Analysis: Cain actually had the most snaps of all the receivers other than T.Y. Hilton, though it was fairly even (Zach Pascal had 31 snaps, Chester Rogers had 28 snaps). No clear No. 2 receiver emerged after Devin Funchess was lost last week to a collarbone injury. Cain could emerge with a larger role, but the Colts may just throw more to tight ends rather than non-Hilton receivers in the aftermath of Funchess' injury.

Good to go
Cain does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Cain returned to a full practice Friday after being listed as limited Thursday for "heat related" reasons. With Devin Funchess (collarbone) now on IR, there are targets up for grabs behind T.Y. Hilton. Cain is in the mix on that front, but so is rookie Parris Campbell, as well as Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal. Cain is a speculative play until the pecking order behind Hilton becomes more clear.

Logs limited practice Thursday
Cain was a limited participant in Thursday's practice for heat-related reasons.
Analysis: The specifics of Cain's situation remain unknown, but there doesn't yet appear to be any reason to worry about his availability for Sunday's contest against the Titans. With Devin Funchess (collarbone) having been placed on injured reserve, Cain is primed for increased targets going forward and could become the No. 2 wideout in Indianapolis.

Could be set for larger role
Cain had two receptions for 35 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The Colts entered the game with uncertainty at the third receiver role, and Cain had the most targets among wide receivers after T.Y. Hilton and Devin Funchess. With Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reporting that Funchess suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's game, Cain could become Indy's No. 2 wide receiver next week.

Listed as No. 3 or No. 4 WR
Cain is listed as the third or fourth wide receiver on Indianapolis' first depth chart of the season.
Analysis: Can had an outstanding preseason (12 receptions for 169 yards) in his first action since returning from a torn ACL in August 2018. This could reflect that he'll have a larger role in the offense than expected, but the No. 3 to No. 6 roles in the Indy offense may be in flux, and those roles may not see as many targets with the move to Jacoby Brissett from Andrew Luck at quarterback.

Strong preseason continues
Cain caught three of four targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-17 preseason loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Cain turned in another strong preseason performance and looks like he's going to lock down a roster spot as a depth receiver. Most of his yardage came on a 46-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Unfortunately, everything the Colts did on the field in this one was overshadowed by the news that quarterback Andrew Luck has announced he's retiring. As a result, the entire outlook on the Colts' passing game has grown much bleaker.

Seven receptions Saturday
Cain had seven receptions for 80 yards on nine targets in Saturday's preseason loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: It was just Cain's second game in returning from an August 2018 ACL tear. He showed a spark with the second-team offense and looks ahead of schedule in his return from the injury. However, he'll likely have a hard time getting snaps on offense in the regular season amid a deep receiving corps. He could emerge with a larger role later in the year.

Catches two passes Thursday
Cain caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Bills.
Analysis: Cain just missed out on a touchdown and also dropped a pass, though he didn't appear to have any limitations after missing last season with a torn ACL. The 2018 sixth-round pick played 29 of 76 offensive snaps Thursday and was on the field with the second-team offense.

Set to play Thursday
Cain, who is coming back from a torn ACL in August 2018, will play in Thursday's preseason game at Buffalo, head coach Frank Reich told 1070 am Indianapolis.
Analysis: The 2018 sixth-round pick has been at full speed in practice and will play his first preseason game after missing all of last season. Cain may not be full speed until midway through the 2019 campaign as he comes back from the injury. However, he's a player to watch as he could eventually contend for a regular role amid a deep receiving corps.

Shaking off rust
Cain has looked somewhat rusty but hasn't had any issues with his surgically repaired knee, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Cain underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in August 2018, so some rust was to be expected, especially since he wasn't able to fully take part in team activities until training camp. The 2018 sixth-round pick -- who turns 23 on Aug. 9 -- appears to have no limitations as he attempts to secure a role in the offense amidst a deep receiving corps.

Returns to full practice
Cain (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday and even got time at kick returner, ESPN 1070 am Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Cain's return from an ACL tear he suffered last August continues to advance faster than anticipated. Cain did more on the first day of camp than was expected as the Colts must feel confident in his health if he's being given reps in the return game. Last spring, GM Chris Ballard even suggested that Cain may not be his usual self until midway through the 2019 campaign. He's a player to watch in Colts camp as he could be a viable contender for a role in the offense even amid a deep receiving…read more

Cutting and sprinting at OTAs
Cain (knee) has been sprinting, cutting and running routes, giving him a chance to be ready for the start of training camp, Zak Keeper of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Both player and team have hinted at a cautious approach to rehab throughout the offseason, with GM Chris Ballard even suggesting that Cain may not be his usual self until midway through the 2019 campaign. His progress seems to be moving along a bit faster than anticipated as the young wideout works his way back from the ACL tear he suffered Aug. 9. Cain will be 13 months removed from the injury by Week 1, but there's no assurance of a significant role even if he's ready to play. A repeat of his…read more

Not looking good for Week 1
General manager Chris Ballard believes Cain (knee) won't return to full strength until midway through the 2019 season, Andrew Walker of Colts.com reports.
Analysis: Cain also hinted at a cautious timeline back in January when he said he didn't expect to begin practicing until August. The team is hoping for some level of participation during training camp, but a Week 1 appearance may be too much to ask. The 2018 sixth-round pick made a bid for a significant role before he suffered a torn ACL on Aug. 9, and the conservative timeline nine months later suggests he suffered additional damage in his knee. The team Cain rejoins likely will have better…read more

May not practice until August
Cain (knee) doesn't expect to resume practicing until August, Kevin Bowen of ESPN 1070 The Fan reports.
Analysis: The 2018 sixth-round pick wants to be cautious with his rehab from a torn ACL suffered Aug. 9, though he may be ready for some form of football activity during spring practices. He was pushing for a key role on offense prior to the devastating injury and recently has received endorsements from Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton and general manager Chris Ballard. The 22-year-old wideout stuck around the team facility throughout his rookie campaign, gaining familiarity with Frank Reich's scheme while…read more

Not expected back for OTAs
Cain (knee) said Sunday that he won't rush his rehab from a torn ACL this offseason and doesn't expect to resume on-field workouts until training camp, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Considering Cain required surgery back in August to address ligament damage to his knee, it's not too surprising that he doesn't plan on participating in OTAs in May and June. That said, the wideout indicated that he's pleased with how he's progressing in his recovery, suggesting he should be back to full strength in advance of the 2019 campaign. Prior to being shuttled to injured reserve, the 2018 sixth-round pick was staking a claim to a meaningful role in the Colts' receiver ranks behind top…read more
