Makes impact in return game
Gould had three punt returns for a 16.3-yard average and one kickoff return for 26 yards in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Gould hasn't played since Week 8 due to a knee injury. He made an impact in the return game setting up the Colts with good field position on several returns, including a 26-yard punt return. He didn't play any snaps on offense as he's rarely used a receiver.

Resumes practicing in full
Gould (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Gould hasn't played since Week 8 due to a knee injury, but coming off Indianapolis' bye he appears to have returned to full health. Expect the depth wideout to resume operating as the Colts' top return man when the team returns to action Sunday on the road against the Chiefs.
Nov 8, 2025
Downgraded to out for Week 10
Gould (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Gould failed to practice this week ahead of Sunday morning's game against Atlanta in Germany. With Gould out, Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin will handle third and fourth wideout duties behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.
Nov 7, 2025
Questionable for Week 10
Gould (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Colts' week of practice, Gould has a chance to suit up Sunday in Berlin. The second-year pro from Oregon State has primarily contributed on special teams this season, catching his lone target for three yards while recording 573 total return yards in eight appearances. If he's sidelined again in Week 10, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs will likely operate as the Colts' top kick and punt returners, respectively.
Nov 6, 2025
Non-participant again
Gould (knee) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gould has yet to practice in any capacity since having suffered a knee injury Week 8 versus the Titans. With Adonai Mitchell having been traded to the Jets, Ashton Dulin will have no competition for the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs if Gould is unable to play Sunday at home versus the Falcons.
Nov 5, 2025
Remains sidelined at practice
Gould (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Gould was absent from the team's 27-20 loss to the Steelers in Week 9 while dealing with a knee injury. The wide receiver has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice, but he'll have two more chances to return to the field prior to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons.
Oct 31, 2025
Ruled out for Week 9
Gould (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gould was injured in last Sunday's win over the Titans and will miss his first game of the season. Gould has just one catch for three yards this season, seeing 11 percent of the offensive snaps. With Gould out, Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell could see sparse snaps behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.
Oct 29, 2025
Opens week with DNP
Gould (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Gould sustained a knee injury during the Colts' Week 8 win over the Titans, when he played 10 snaps (three on offense, seven on special teams) and logged 33 yards on two kickoff returns and 42 yards on two punt returns. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but if he isn't cleared to play, then Ashton Dulin would stand to take on most of the kickoff and punt return responsibilities for the Colts.
Oct 26, 2025
Exits with knee injury
Gould (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
The Colts hold a commanding lead late in the fourth quarter, so Gould wouldn't likely return to Sunday's game even if he was cleared to do so. Adonai Mitchell and Tyler Goodson were the Colts' two kickoff returners in Gould's absence.
Oct 20, 2025
Works as No. 3 receiver
Gould had one reception for three yards on his only target in Sunday's win at the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Gould moved into the No. 3 receiver role ahead of Adonai Mitchell with Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) out with injuries. Gould played on 39 of the offense's 60 snaps. Gould will likely move back to playing just special teams as a returner when Downs or Dulin return. However, it's notable he's moved ahead of Mitchell on the depth chart.
Sep 27, 2025
Past illness
Gould (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Although Indianapolis' original injury report had Gould listed as questionable due to an illness, he's moved past the issue in time to face Los Angeles on Sunday. The Oregon State product has tallied 181 kick-return yards through the Colts' first three games this season and is expected to remain the team's top return man in Week 4.
Sep 26, 2025
Questionable for Week 4
Gould (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Gould has been battling an illness the last couple of days, missing practice Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. If the wide receiver can't go in Week 4, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs would be top candidates to see an increase in workload on special teams.
Sep 25, 2025
Under the weather
Gould did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
The illness is a new issue, as the 2024 fifth-rounder did not appear on Wednesday's injury report. It's unclear how severe Gould's illness is, but Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Rams on Sunday. Gould has primarily served on special teams and has returned six kickoffs for 181 yards and two punts for four yards through the first three games of the regular season.
Sep 8, 2025
Used as punt returner
Gould was used as Indy's punt returner and played two snaps on special teams, but didn't get any action in Sunday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Gould begins the season as Indy's punt returner and also one of the team's kick returners. He won't have a role on offense unless there are injuries in the receiving corps.
Aug 23, 2025
Looks set as punt returner
Gould had four receptions for 43 yards on six targets in Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals. Gould looks set to be Indy's punt returner, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Gould looks set to make the 53-man roster as the No. 6 receiver, but will have most of his value as a punt returner. He had just one reception last season and may not have much of a role on offense.
Aug 8, 2025
Makes mistakes in preseason opener
Gould had two receptions for 12 yards on four targets in Thursday's preseason loss at Baltimore. He also had a dropped kickoff and two dropped passes, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Gould has made a strong impression in training camp and had some nice plays in Thursday's game, but the mistakes probably hurt his chances to have a larger role in the offense.
Feb 16, 2025
Plays eight games in rookie year
Gould logged caught his lone target for 23 yards while adding 206 kick return yards and 95 punt return yards across eight regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Gould was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall. He got some reps with the first-team offense during training camp and had an impressive preseason, but he was a healthy scratch from Week 4 to 12 and was mostly used on special teams as a returner when he did play during the regular season. Gould will participate in offseason training programs and look to earn a bigger role for himself on offense for the 2025 campaign.
Sep 29, 2024
Healthy scratch for Week 4
Gould (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Gould appeared in each of the Colts' first three games, operating primarily as a return man. However, with Josh Downs back in the mix, Gould is the odd man out in the Colts' wideout corps.
Sep 16, 2024
Minimal role on offense
Gould did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. He played just one snap on offense.
ANALYSIS
After an impressive preseason, Gould has had a minimal role on offense with just 17 snaps played in two games and no targets. He's mostly being used as a kick returner on special teams, but the Colts did not return a kickoff against the Packers.
Aug 23, 2024
Four receptions in preseason finale
Gould had four receptions for 25 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but had an impressive training camp and preseason that saw him get time with the first-team offense. He may have also won the kickoff return job and could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.
Aug 12, 2024
Gets time with first-team offense
Gould worked with the first-team offense as a receiver, but was not targeted with a pass in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had five kickoff returns for a 27.6 yard average and one punt return for nine yards.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but has been working with the first-team offense in training camp at times as a receiver. He could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.
Aug 9, 2024
Making push for WR duty
Gould has been used with the first-team offense in the slot at times during training camp and has made a strong impression, James Boyd reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as he's also competing for the punt return job. However, it looks like he could be in the receiver mix which may have openings for playing time if Josh Downs misses regular season games with a high ankle sprain.
