News

  • Plays one snap in finale

    Cain wasn't targeted while playing just one offensive snap in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: A sixth-round pick of the Colts in 2018, Cain appeared in seven games for the club before being waived in November and landing with Pittsburgh shortly thereafter. Cain didn't make much of an impact in his new landing spot, contributing just five catches for 72 yards on six targets. If the Steelers choose to retain Cain in 2020, he'll likely be tasked with filling a depth role once again.

  • One catch vs. Cardinals

    Cain caught his only target for 22 yards in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.

    Analysis: Since joining Pittsburgh last month, Cain has caught exactly one pass in each of the three games in which he has played. There is little reason to expect his volume to increase in Week 15 against the Bills and even less reason he should be rostered by fantasy owners.

  • One catch in debut

    Cain had one catch for 35 yards in Pittsburgh's 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Analysis: Signed just over a week ago, Cain saw just one target from Mason Rudolph before Pittsburgh made the switch at quarterback to Devlin Hodges. Cain was targeted once by Hodges, which resulted in a pass interference call which led to a field goal that proved to be the game-winner. Cain had four receptions on 14 targets for 52 yards in six games with Indianapolis before joining Pittsburgh, and he has little fantasy value heading into a Week 13 game against Cleveland.

  • Could work as No. 3 wideout

    Cain could be utilized as the Steelers' third wide receiver Sunday at Cincinnati, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Cain signed with the Steelers off the Colts' practice squad last Saturday, but he may find an immediate offensive role for his new team with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) sidelined. A quality performance could go a long way toward securing the 23-year-old's spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Lands in Pittsburgh

    Cain signed a contract with the Steelers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Well that didn't take long. Only a week after the Colts' surprising decision to place Cain on the team's practice squad, the Steelers ultimately signed the embattled 23-year-old to their active roster. With both JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Diontae Johnson (concussion) banged up following Thursday's game, it's entirely possible Cain could be on the Steelers' 53-man roster for the considerable future.

  • Signing with Colts' practice squad

    Cain cleared waivers and has signed with the Colts' practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: It was first a surprise that the promising 23-year-old was waived last week, and it's even more suspicious that he wasn't claimed by any of the 31 other NFL teams. Regardless, Cain is now back with the Colts, though it's possible another team could sign him off the practice squad.

  • Surprisingly let go

    Cain was waived by the Colts on Saturday.

    Analysis: It's telling that the Colts, with five wide receivers either on injured reserve or ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, still opted to cut the 2018 sixth-round pick, instead promoting practice-squad wideout Marcus Johnson to the active roster. There were rumblings the Colts were unhappy with the development of Cain, particularly following a healthy scratch toward the end of October, but it's still surprising to see the team essentially give up on the second-year receiver, subjecting him to the…read more

  • No receptions Sunday

    Cain didn't have a catch despite two targets and playing 20 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Cain was active after being inactive last week with No. 1 wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) sidelined. However, Cain continued his pattern from early in the season of getting playing time but failing to be a factor in the offense. He's struggled to get open and get more targets thrown his way.

  • Increased opportunity on tap

    Cain is likely to be active for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Colts likely will count on Cain to step into a larger role with No. 1 wideout T.Y. Hilton (calf) sidelined. The second-year player stands to mix into the aerial attack alongside Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell. He's yet to surpass 35 receiving yards in a single game this season, but Cain could be worth monitoring in deeper leagues.

  • Healthy scratch versus Broncos

    Cain (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Despite boasting full health, Cain won't factor into Indianapolis' plans on offense Week 8. Over the last five games, the second-year pro has turned 10 targets into just two receptions for 17 yards. His absence could allow Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell to see increased offensive snaps.

  • No targets Sunday

    Cain got the start at receiver opposite T.Y. Hilton in Sunday's win over Houston, but did not have a target.

    Analysis: Cain continues to get plenty of snaps but few targets in the Indy offense. He's played 42 percent or more of the offense's snaps in each of the past five games, but has just two receptions and 10 targets over that span. Until he starts getting the ball thrown his way, he's not a viable option in any fantasy format despite his nominal status as a starter.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Cain had one reception for seven yards on his lone target in Sunday's win at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Cain tied Zach Pascal for the most snaps among non-T.Y. Hilton receivers, but again put up meager production despite ample playing time. None of the receivers other than Hilton look like viable options in most formats given how the Colts spread out the few non-Hilton receiver targets. The non-Hilton receivers had a combined two receptions in Sunday's game.

  • Gets start, but no receptions

    Cain got the start at wide receiver along with Parris Campbell with T.Y. Hilton out with a quad injury, but was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: Cain again got significant playing time, but failed to generate much offense. He has just one reception the last three weeks despite playing 33 or more snaps on offense each week. Cain led the wide receivers in snaps (56) against the Raiders and went out for a pass 42 times, but isn't drawing attention from Jacoby Brissett. Cain could start again at Kansas City if Hilton remains out, but it's hard to put much stock in his playing time until he starts getting some receptions.

  • Could be set for larger role

    Cain and Parris Campbell could be in for larger roles with T.Y. Hilton (quad) listed as doubtful on the official injury report for Sunday's game against Oakland, Kevin Bowen of 1070 am Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: The pecking order for targets if Hilton is out isn't clear as the four healthy Indy receivers almost equally split snap counts last week. Cain had 37 snaps on offense, while Zach Pascal had 30 snaps, Paris Campbell had 30 snaps, and Chester Rogers had 27 snaps. The Colts may also use more two-TE sets. Cain had a strong preseason, but has just three receptions this season. Still, he could be thrust into a prominent role Sunday.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Cain had one reception on three targets in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Cain played the most snaps on offense of any Colts receiver (T.Y. Hilton left the game early due to an injury) but the Colts continue to split the playing time evenly between the receiving corps. Cain had 37 snaps on offense, while Zach Pascal had 30 snaps, Paris Campbell had 30 snaps, and Chester Rogers had 27 snaps. Cain could emerge with a larger role, but it's hard to put much stock in his weekly output in the meantime.

  • 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.

    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

    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
