Colts announce promotion of linebacker and signing of center to practice squad

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday the promotion of linebacker Austin Ajiake from their practice squad and the subsequent signing of center Jimmy Morrissey to replace him therein.

Having signed with the Colts back in 2023, Ajiake has remained within the Indianapolis organization. He was released as part of initial 53-man roster cuts this past offseason, but was a priority signing among practice squad members. He’s already appeared in 1 game for the Colts so far this year (against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1), recording 2 tackles (1 solo).

Meanwhile Morrissey was a 2021 7th round pick of the...

Colts worked out a wealth of cornerbacks on Monday

According to the NFL official transaction wire, the Indianapolis Colts worked out a wealth of cornerbacks on Monday, including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Kennan Isaac, and Nik Needham.

The Colts also worked out center Jimmy Morrissey.

Among the biggest names on the list are Isaiah Bolden, Nik Needham, and former Colts defensive back Tre Flowers.

Originally a 2023 7th round pick of the New England Patriots, the 6’2”, 205 pound Bolden had 10 tackles (7 solo) and a fumble recovery in 10 games last season. He was released ahead of initial 53-man roster cuts this offseason....

Colts’ Stats of the Game: Week 2 vs. Broncos

Colts’ Stats of the Game: Week 2 vs. Broncos

Colts start 2-0

We can sit here and dissect all we want, and it is certainly entertaining, but in the end all that matters is that the Colts are 2-0, and for the first time in over 15 years. I consider myself an optimistic person, and I was not expecting a start like this at all. Even more so when taking into account the opponents faced. Sure, the Dolphins are not as good as I expected them to be, with things unraveling fast down in Miami, but the Broncos are a darn good football team, and the Colts beat...

Colts’ Monday Morning Awards: Week 2 vs. Broncos

2-0 for the first time since 2009, and the Colts continue with their surprises. Andrew Luck could not do it in his entire career, and Daniel Jones has managed to do it in his first season in blue. I was not optimistic at all about the outlook for this year, but after just two games, I am ready to get hurt again.


MVP of the Game: Spencer Shrader / Jonathan Taylor

In case you did not hear the announcers try and jinx Shrader, he is still perfect in his NFL career. He missed a 60-yarder wide right before...

Colts got a thrilling win, but need better from Shane Steichen

Colts got a thrilling win, but need better from Shane Steichen

Woah, nelly!

The Colts-Broncos game scored at least an 8/10 on the thrill meter as the back and forth affair ended in dramatic fashion. The Indianapolis Colts lost on a 60-yard miss from rookie Spencer Shrader only to be resurrected and given new life on a personal foul call that gave them 15-yards and an untimed down to win it all. What was heartbreak and an opportunity lost merely 60 seconds earlier, turned into pure jubilation as fans watched the ball sail through the uprights and Blue pelvic thrust his way to victory. In all the excitement, it is easy...

Daniel Jones, I Owe You An Apology; I Wasn’t Familiar With Your Game

Indianapolis, IN — As pandemonium ensued following the initially missed game-winning kick off the foot of kicker Spencer Shrader, Shane Steichen sighed loud enough for the nosebleeds to hear it. The third-year head coach had just led his offense down the field, trailing by two points amidst a 2-minute drill, and elected to passively chew clock behind the legs of star running back Jonathan Taylor to get into field goal range.

After getting an all-time break in the form of an untimely leveraging infraction by the Broncos’ interior defensive line on their block attempt, Spencer Shrader would remain perfect in...

Colts-Titans opening odds: First road test for the Colts awaits

The Indianapolis Colts started the NFL season at home gaining wins against the Dolphins and Broncos. Not only is it their first road game, it also marks the first divisional opponent in the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are a team the Colts know well, but with a new rookie quarterback in first overall pick Cam Ward, they will certainly have a different look. FanDuel Sportsbook sees the Colts with the current advantage with a -3.5 point spread.

The opening money line sits at -166 with the over/under coming in at 42.5.

The Colts and Broncos had a seesaw affair with...

Colts catch enormous break with leverage penalty that gifts Spencer Shrader second chance to bury game-winning FG in 29-28 walk-off win over Broncos

It was a controversial, yet electric finish at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday as Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader was gifted a second opportunity to deliver a game-winning field goal from 45-yards out to defeat the Denver Broncos 29-28 in walk-off fashion. The Colts are out the gate to their first 2-0 start since their last Super Bowl appearance in 2009 and made history in the process, becoming the first team in NFL history to score on each of their first 10 possessions to begin a season.

The Colts (2-0) caught some monumental luck when the 42-yard try from Broncos...

Colts shed ghosts of early seasons’ past, improving to 2-0 with thrilling win against Broncos

With new starter Daniel Jones behind center, the Indianapolis Colts so far look like a different team to begin the 2025 with a bit more swagger to their step than in more recent seasons.

Call that the ‘Danny Dimes’ effect?

Barely besting the Denver Broncos, 29-28, with a game-winning 45-yard field goal in the closing seconds, the Colts can finally say something that the franchise hasn’t been able to say since they made their most recent Super Bowl appearance way back in 2009: they’re 2-0 again.

Sure, it wasn’t the sexiest performance, even though the Colts didn’t punt the ball...

Week 2 Colts vs. Broncos Game Thread

The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Denver Broncos in week 2 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. EST.

Whew. Week one was one for the record books. Daniel Jones led the Colts offense to seven straight scoring drives, the first time that’s happened for an NFL team since the mid-1970’s. Jones played a clean game and distributed the ball well to his playmakers. Last week I said this about rookie tight end Tyler Warren:

I’m excited to watch Tyler Warren in real game action. Also, don’t expect the world from Warren, at...

6 Key Matchups vs Broncos

The Colts Week 1 soared to victory in a dominant fashion, beating the Dolphins 33-8. Now they will face their fellow equestrian team in the Denver Broncos, who themselves are coming off of a win against the Titans that was more convincing than the 20-12 score would indicate. Colts fans have not forgotten the infamous 13-31 Loss to the Broncos that all but ended the 2024 Colts playoff aspirations late last season, nor do the Colts themselves. Vengeance, Redemption, and a chance to prove that the 2025 Colts are better equipped to enter the playoff race are all on the...

Colts Injury Update: Jaylon Jones heads to IR

The 2024 Colts starting Corner was placed on IR Saturday, declaring him OUT for the next 4 games minimum. The Colts activated Chris Lammons from the Practice Squad to fill his space on the 53 Man Roster in the interim.

Jones was the Colts Cornerback 4 on the the depth chart to start the season after Charvarius Ward and Xavien Howard signings. He was the top backup outside CB on the depth chart, and would have been next man up with Ward also dealing with an injury (a Concussion that was reported on Monday).
