With the preseason winding down, it’s time to look ahead at what the Colts depth chart could look like come Week 1.

Quarterbacks (3)

Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, Riley Leonard

The Colts kept 3 quarterbacks last season and with the health questions surrounding Anthony Richardson, the Colts will definitely need to keep 3 on the roster again this season. Riley Leonard and Jason Bean have battled it out all offseason, with their final battle coming in the last preseason game. Leonard played incredibly well against the Bengals and has gotten more snaps to this point and offers a bit...

The Indianapolis Colts (1-2) finished off the preseason strong, beating the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2), 41-14, on the road in the finale during Saturday afternoon.

Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard was impressive in the first half, completing 15 of 20 passes for 189 total passing yards, a passing touchdown, and 0 interceptions. 2nd-year quarterback Jason Bean came in relief of Leonard after halftime, and he completed 11 of 17 pass attempts for 107 total passing yards, a passing touchdown, and an interception.

Undrafted rookie free agent Nate Noel led the Colts in rushing, amassing 63 total rushing yards on 7 carries...

The Indianapolis Colts don’t currently have strong odds to make the playoffs (-245), let alone win the Super Bowl.

If you ask Vegas, the Colts aren’t likely to snap their playoff drought, which the franchise hasn’t made the playoffs since the COVID year of 2020, when longtime veteran gunslinger Philip Rivers was behind center for his lone season in Indianapolis (and really was the last consistently good starting quarterback for the Horseshoe).

The Colts have the 10th worst playoffs odds this year among all NFL teams. Even the Jacksonville Jaguars (-210), who finished last year at 4-13, are projected to...

The Indianapolis Colts have the NFL’s 23rd best Super Bowl odds (+8000) just ahead of the league’s 2025 regular season beginning.

Only the Tennessee Titans (+17500) have worse odds in the AFC South, as even the Jacksonville Jaguars (+7000) are slightly favored favored over the Colts. For what it’s worth, the reigning division champion Houston Texans are +2200.

Right now, the Baltimore Ravens (+650) are the favorite followed by the Buffalo Bills (+750), Philadelphia Eagles (+750), Kansas City Chiefs (+800), and Kansas City Chiefs (+800) rounding out the Top 5 best odds.

It’s hard to disagree with the Colts’...

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know.

That is the type of sentiment that encapsulates the decision to start Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson for the 2025 Indianapolis Colts. It isn’t that the choice is unbelievable. It feels more like not having all the pieces to the puzzle. Richardson didn’t run away with the competition by any means, but it looked like he did enough to retain the role. Fans can point to on the field action as the source of truth, but so much more goes...

The Indianapolis Colts have their quarterback plan for the preseason finale on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday afternoon—as both backup rookie quarterback Riley Leonard and Jason Bean will be splitting the reps during each half respectively (via FOX59/CBS4’s Mike Chappell):

While this means rather expectedly is that newly named Colts veteran starter Daniel Jones won’t play, and neither will demoted 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, due to the potential risk of injury and that he’ll be ‘one play away’ during the regular season from working with the first-team offense.

Leonard was a 2025 6th round pick of...

The season is nearly underway for the Indianapolis Colts, who are trying to navigate a challenging coaching, management, and quarterback situation heading into the 2025 NFL season. Head coach Shane Steichen has produced middling results thus far (the team is literally 17-17 in his two-year tenure), and general manager Chris Ballard is on the hot seat. It’s safe to say this season is a critical one for the Colts.

With the Anthony Richardson/Daniel Jones battle at quarterback taking up a lot of room, Indianapolis has begun extending some of their cornerstone pieces. Offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann just secured a massive...

After head coach Shane Steichen somewhat surprisingly named veteran Daniel Jones the starter, there is definitely a shakeup among the Indianapolis Colts locker room leadership—a controversial move which left many Horseshoe fans shaking their heads, seemingly more in disgust than in nodding approval.

There’s definitely a fall out now.

Despite earlier public comments to the contrary, the Colts appear to have largely given up on the costly, Anthony Richardson passing project for now, as the still 23-year-old former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft will now be the primary backup quarterback behind Jones and won’t receive the meaningful...

The Indianapolis Colts were significantly banged up at cornerback to begin the week.

Specifically, the team had already lost promising projected rookie starting corner Justin Walley to a season-ending torn ACL, both Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents were out with hamstring injuries, and backup Johnathan Edwards suffered a concussion during this past weekend’s preseason game.

The team made a surprising free agency splash late in the offseason, inking former veteran NFL All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard to a 1-year deal, worth up to $5 million in incentives.

Here comes the Colts’ cornerback cavalry after all!

The Colts secondary received even more...

The Indianapolis Colts unveiled their final unofficial depth chart ahead of the team’s preseason finale on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Saturday afternoon (1 PM EST).

Here were a few of the takeaways:

OFFENSE

• The “OR” between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson at QB1 has officially been removed, after the former was officially (and somewhat surprisingly) named the starter on Tuesday by head coach Shane Steichen.
• With backup swing-tackle Blake Freeland being placed on injured reserve, after gruesomely fracturing his leg this weekend, Marshall Foerner is now listed as the 2nd-team backup left...

So many thoughts…

The story broke that Shane Steichen named Daniel Jones the starter for the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. Since that moment, opinions, feelings, and declarations have been flying around the internet. Some fans love the move, stating Anthony Richardson was a sunk cost and there was no reason to waste more time on him. Others, found the move to be premature as it essentially declares the end for Richardson in Indianapolis. Plenty more couldn’t fully wrap their heads around the decision. I find myself in the third camp; filled with thoughts and questions. Here are just a few....

The Colts entered their second preseason game against the Packers with a clear goal: evaluate both quarterbacks at the top of the roster. Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson each saw extended work, offering very different but equally telling performances. While neither clearly separated from the other, the game once again underscored the “floor versus ceiling” debate at the heart of Indianapolis’ quarterback decision.

The Colts ended up going with Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the regular season, but as you’ll see Jones didn’t necessarily play better or prove that he deserved to be the starting...
