Indianapolis Colts
According to Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen, he didn’t have a specific injury update for a pair of veterans, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (neck) and cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion), as well as for quarterback Anthony Richardson (orbital fracture) on Monday (via The Athletic’s James Boyd):
All three players are currently on injured reserve, but both Richardson and Ward are eligible to return this weekend in a critical game against the AFC’s reigning champions, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs—where Ward’s ongoing status is of immense importance for potentially slowing down their passing game.

If an Indianapolis Colts’ fan watched the Denver Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs, they may have found themselves rooting for the Chiefs. That makes total sense. A loss by the Broncos would have helped the Colts maintain pace in the AFC and stay in second behind the Patriots. Although the Colts didn’t get a say in the matter being on a bye, a Broncos’ win pushed them into third. That doesn’t look as good as second, but that is a short term view. What about looking further out?
The Colts’ goal is to beat the Chiefs this week. That...

According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Indianapolis Colts are signing former Baltimore Ravens veteran defensive tackle Chris Wormley to their practice squad:
With All-Pro stalwart DeForest Buckner out at least until Week 15 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks on injured reserve, the Colts could eventually be activating some veteran interior defensive line depth on game days.
Originally a 2017 3rd round pick of the Ravens, the 6’5”, 300 pound Wormley has 150 tackles (82 solo), 11.0 sacks, 10 passes defensed, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery during 87 career games (31 starts)—having also played for the...

The Indianapolis Colts did not play in the NFL’s Week 11 slate, but they still took a loss of sorts.
Although Indy’s commercial break from regularly scheduled programming allowed them to reset both mentally and phyiscally, they had to sit back and watch the rest of the league fight for playoff seeding. As a result, the Colts (8-2) went from the AFC’s number one seed entering the week, to the third seed after wins by the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos move them to a now-leading 9-2 record.
Furthermore, the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4) have closed the gap on the...

The Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs have been running in different NFL social circles over the last seven or so years. The Chiefs have made many deep playoff runs and hoisted three Lombardi trophies over that time. Meanwhile, the Colts have been treading water and searching for an identity. Just like all pendulums, this one appears to be swinging back in the other direction as these teams are nearing each other again. The Chiefs are extremely formidable still, and FanDuel Sportsbook sees it that way as well. The Colts are solid underdogs in this one with a +3.5-point spread....

The Indianapolis Colts are on the bye in Week 11, and while they entered it in first place in the AFC, they have dropped not one but two slots in the playoff picture. The New England Patriots became the first nine-win team in the NFL on Thursday night, defeating the New York Jets, and taking sole possession of first place in the AFC as a result. Then the Denver Broncos took first place from New England with their Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers won to stick in fourth place.
In the wild card race,...

The Indianapolis Colts are on the bye in Week 11, and while they entered it in first place in the AFC, they have already lost their position after one game. The New England Patriots became the first nine-win team in the NFL on Thursday night, defeating the New York Jets, and taking sole possession of first place in the AFC as a result.
The Denver Broncos currently share an 8-2 record with Indianapolis. They play the Chiefs this weekend in a game with huge AFC playoff implications.
The Patriots’ bye isn’t until Week 14 and between now and then they...

Shh…Don’t tell anyone, but Tyler Warren might be my favorite Colts player.
Yes, Jonathan Taylor is stealing the headlines right now*. Stealing…? Ok, not stealing, but you get the idea.* All the talk is about Taylor and well deserved. He is ripping off huge runs, breaking franchise records, and carrying this team at times. The present is all about Taylor. The future, well, that has Taylor in it too, but if things continue like they are, a large chunk of it will be all about Warren. What fans of the Indianapolis Colts have seen on the field to start his...

When the Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Colts drafting Tyler Warren 15th overall in the 2025 draft, he did so with the usual customary addition of “insert position, insert university” that he does with all picks. The words “Tyler Warren, Tight End, Penn State” caused a thunderous roar of approval from both Colts fans watching the draft, and from inside the Colts War Room itself.
However the 2nd part, “Tight End” is just a gross oversimplification of what Tyler Warren can do. Tyler Warren is like Cassian Andor’s friends in Andor or Roy Kent from Ted Lasso, he’s everywhere.

International games can be the best or the worst—depending on the outcome of the game. If you win, there’s nothing like that flight back home. If you lose? It is MISERABLE. Luckily, the Colts under Shane Steichen have not had to experience that.
I’ve said it before, but the NFL is a week to week league. It doesn’t matter what the media thinks, Vegas thinks, or your co-worker at the watercooler. Records do not matter. Unless you have a crystal ball, nobody has any clue what will happen in a game. You may be more talented than the player across...
