Colts rookie Tyler Warren becomes centerpiece of offense

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tyler Warren's first play of his first NFL season told you everything you needed to know about his place in the Indianapolis Colts offense.

The rookie tight end, drafted 14th by the Colts, was the first read for quarterback Daniel Jones on the team's first play from scrimmage in Sunday's season opener.

Jones used play-action to Jonathan Taylor to the right side to freeze the defense, then bootlegged to his left, where Warren had escaped Miami Dolphins defensive end Jaelan Phillips and was wide open.
