According to head coach Shane Steichen, he hasn’t had conversations yet regarding his coaching future with team owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon yet, but the two organizational leaders continue to chat weekly (via 1075 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen):
Honestly, this isn’t exactly surprising given that the Colts still have one game of football left to play, even if their playoff hopes have been already dashed. Not to mention, Steichen is still under contract through the 2028 season.
Even by virtue of that multi-year contract, it’s not that Steichen’s job is completely safe by any means, having not made the playoffs...

According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts are taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach with 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson regarding whether he’ll be activated off of injured reserve ahead of the team’s regular season finale game on the road against the Houston Texans (per The Athletic’s James Boyd).
Specifically, given that Richardson is still experiencing vision limitations, recovering from surgery to repair his fractured orbital bone suffered earlier this season, and the Colts are still erring on the side of caution before potentially activating him off injured reserve to be available for Sunday’s game:
Given that the Week 18 starting...

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ he believes that the Indianapolis Colts are “banking on” injured pending free agent starting quarterback Daniel Jones “being back.”
Specifically, it’s Schefter’s opinion right now that the two sides will reach agreement on a new contract, and Jones will be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season:
Honestly, this seems like the most logical quarterback outcome for the Colts as it stands.
Prior to Jones fracturing his fibula before Week 12, he was playing some really good football for the Colts during his debut campaign in Indianapolis. He...

On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has signed former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Seth Henigan to the team’s practice squad.
Henigan had reportedly tried out for the Colts a few weeks ago.
The listed 6,‘3”, 215 pound quarterback was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Memphis by the Jaguars this past offseason but was released as part of their final 53-man roster cuts, before being subsequently re-signed to their practice squad for a short stint to start the regular season—and then later released.
He was 2x All-AAC with the Tigers, completing 1,147 of his 1,791...

8-8, the losing streak continues, and this team keeps finding ways to lose. A cultural reset is clearly needed, starting from the general manager all the way down to the key players. This team is not going anywhere the way it is built, and to top it all off the Colts don’t have their first round picks for the next two drafts.
Latu is in my opinion one of the most underrated edge rushers in the NFL. Playing on a front seven that has no consistent pass-rushers other than him, he still...

The Indianapolis Colts have recently become known as a franchise that isn’t afraid to forge a unique path. They brought in an ESPN analyst in the middle of the season to be their interim head coach. Not Jeff Saturday’s fault, but that act set the scene for a 1-7 finish to the year. Look no further than three weeks ago to see the latest example in which a 44-year-old retired quarterback was brought in as a final heave to save the season. While the experiment didn’t work, it wasn’t a total embarrassment either. Yes, the Colts are no stranger to...

Another season of Opening Odds is in the books. While it isn’t the way any of us would like to see the season end, I hope you enjoyed it. The Indianapolis Colts are set to conclude their season with a rather meaningless road contest against the Houston Texans who ended the Colts’ season Saturday night. It was one of the biggest up and down seasons we have seen, and FanDuel Sportsbook sees the Colts going out with a whimper. The losing streak is predicted to continue with the Colts at +10.5 in the spread.
The money line is set at...

With Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Indianapolis Colts left the home finale with a familiar sting that has defined how each season is destined to end. The Colts winless drought reached six straight games down the home stretch and they will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight season following another late collapse of epic proportions.
It felt more like a senior day operation inside Lucas Oil Stadium than an actual game that had any relevance to the future of the franchise as the Colts were held to a season-low 204 total Net yards in the final...

Another game, another loss, for the Indianapolis Colts, who saw a once promising 8-2 start, snowball to a shocking 8-8 record for their latest annual season collapse—having now lost six straight games.
Of course, by virtue of the Houston Texans beating the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, the Colts already knew they were eliminated from playoff contention in this one, meaning they were purely playing for pride and hoping to avoid being swept by the Jacksonville Jaguars this now highly disappointing regular season.
The lack of success against their top divisional rivals, the Jaguars and Houston Texans, has only sadly...

Having officially been knocked out of playoff contention again, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7), and specifically team owner and CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon and her two sisters, will face some tough decisions this upcoming offseason.
Chief among them is expected to be the job security of longtime general manager Chris Ballard, along with other key leadership positions such as head coach Shane Steichen and the status at starting quarterback, where incumbent Daniel Jones is recovering from torn Achilles surgery and is a pending league free agent.
Among the leadership trio, Ballard’s seat is expected to be among the hottest, after what was...

The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 17 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST.
The Colts season is effectively over. A year that started with so much hope, so much promise and it’s gone. All of it. There’s just not much to say. Another year of looking forward to free agency and the draft. Another year watching other NFL teams in the playoffs. Heck, even one and done in the playoffs would be nice. Just getting to the postseason would be a welcome sight for Colts fans.

The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives for Week 17’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with no real surprises:
The Colts had already declared starting center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) and rookie backup defensive end JT Tuimoloau (oblique) out before the weekend, as well as downgraded right guard Dalton Tucker (shoulder) to out yesterday.
Veteran backup center Danny Pinter is expected to start in Bortolini’s absence.
It looks like with Tucker out (but starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann back), the Colts will be carrying offensive tackle Luke Tenuta for extra depth in this one. The Colts also elevated both center Jimmy...
