When telling the story of the NFL, there are many chapters and footnotes one must remember to encapsulate what this sport and league is all about. The Colts in their lengthy history have no shortage of these to tell.

They can range wildly in tone and emotions. From a heartwarming story of players rallying behind a coach stricken with leukemia to make miraculous comeback victories to the playoffs.

To the tragic cautionary tale of a quarterback not given enough support around him and medically retiring early in a career thought to be destined for greatness. The Colts truly can encapsulate...

On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts announced a number of roster moves, including placing starting quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) and backup cornerback Chris Lammons (foot) on injured reserve.

The Colts also signed cornerback Cameron Mitchell to the active roster and re-signed cornerback Tony Pride Jr. to the team’s practice squad again.

With veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward also in the concussion protocol, having suffered his third concussion of the season this past Sunday, the Colts clearly were looking to bolster their cornerback depth with some familiar faces—having both Ward and Lammons out of action for Week 15 on the road against the...

Colts’ wide receivers

The Colts were in passing mode most of the game after going down 14 points early in the second quarter, and the wide receivers took full advantage of the opportunity presented. Pierce and Pittman combined for 13 catches on 20 targets and close to 160 yards, while Josh Downs also got in a bit of the action after being a non-factor the past few weeks. The quarterback situation is unclear right now whether Leonard or Rivers will start, but the rookie looked somewhat competent so the receivers could still be productive.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Indianapolis Colts are signing 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers, who is coming out of retirement with his old team.

This is indeed a desperate call for a desperate measure, given that the Colts are facing a winless finish regardless of who they turn to at quarterback. The 8-5 Colts currently sit just outside of the AFC’s 7th playoff spot, with the Houston Texans serving as its placeholder thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker over Indy. The Colts are no longer in control of their own destiny; thus, they are trying to create...

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, longtime since retired 44-year-old veteran quarterback Philip Rivers actually worked out for the suddenly desperate Indianapolis Colts on Monday—and reportedly ‘threw well’:

Further, per ESPN’s Pat McAfee, following his shocking, yet impressive workout last night “all indications are that Rivers will be announced as the Colts quarterback at some point today”:

Obviously, things have been moving blazing fast in Indianapolis over the last 72 hours.

Having lost starting quarterback Daniel Jones to a season-ending torn Achilles and seen rookie 3rd-string quarterback Riley Leonard’s status (with 2nd-stringer Anthony Richardson already unavailable) for this weekend’s road game...

Assuming Riley Leonard is fully healthy, he has a big opportunity in front of him.

The Colts enter the final four games of the season without clarity at the most important position in football — not because they lack options, but because none of those options are firmly settled. Daniel Jones’ future is murky. Anthony Richardson is under contract and still developing. And the draft and trade markets offer no easy answers. That uncertainty creates a rare evaluation window for Leonard, who now finds himself with the keys to a functional offense and a legitimate chance to change how the...

Philip Rivers…

This is where we are right now? The Indianapolis Colts are seriously considering a 44-year old quarterback who has been retired almost five years? Oh, and he is a grandpa. Are there any other grandpas in the NFL? The craziest part about the Colts bringing him in for a workout is that it could actually be the best option on the table right now. Regardless, this move reeks of desperation and shows a true emergency moment for the franchise. If this goes through and Rivers decides to tie ‘em up one more time, one can’t help but wonder...

The Indianapolis Colts reached out to a retired signal caller in hopes of finding a solution to the active quarterback conundrum and will fly in 44-year-old retired quarterback Philip Rivers for a workout at the team facility on Tuesday.

Rivers was celebrating his 44th birthday when he received the offer to fly into Indianapolis. The eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback has not played in the NFL since the 2020 season, when he finished his career fueling one last playoff run with the Colts. Indianapolis has not reached the playoffs since Rivers’ last NFL game.

Rivers has strong ties to Colts head...

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts are planning on working out longtime, since retired quarterback Philip Rivers, who played for the franchise during the 2020 NFL season:

Obviously, it’s desperation time for the Colts, who recently lost starter Daniel Jones (Achilles) for the season, and still have no set timetable for his primary backup, Anthony Richardson, to return from an orbital fracture.

Even third-string rookie quarterback Riley Leonard is now hurt with a knee injury, although head coach Shane Steichen is hopeful that he’ll be available on Sunday on the road against the Seattle...

What’s this? I can’t believe my eyes.

What’s this? There’s something very wrong.

Who doesn’t love The Nightmare Before Christmas? The movie is great. The nightmare before Christmas the Indianapolis Colts are experiencing is truly horrifying, however. There are no fun sing-along songs or magical Christmas town to behold. The Colts find themselves in Ooggie Boogie’s torture chamber with no possible escape as a truly promising season has now devolved into the unimaginable. 7-1 has turned into a puddle of mush as the Colts sit at 8-5 on the season and are now without their quarterback.

Jack Skellington is the...

According to head coach Shane Steichen, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will undergo season-ending surgery on his torn Achiles within the week—among other injury updates (per ESPN’s Stephen Holder):

However, the new injury developments are that rookie quarterback Riley Leonard, who filled in relief of Jones after the first quarter of Sunday’s loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars, is now dealing with knee soreness. Steichen is “hopeful” he’ll be available Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

Colts practice squad quarterback Brett Rypien would theoretically be the ‘next man up,’ if Leonard is unable to go—and will likely be elevated...

The 2026 Draft Class is filled with talented players, giving plenty of NFL franchises the opportunity to add to their rosters. Defense has the edge over Offense in the Round 1 and Round 1-2 Graded players, with 23/39 players lining up on that side of the line. They are led by 3 fantastic prospects, the Buckeye pair of Arvell Reese and Caleb Downs (Colts Wide Receiver Josh Downs’ younger brother and Downs 2 Business podcast co-host) as well as Miami’s Reuben Bain Jr.

For Colts fans waiting until mid/back half of Round 2 to see their team on the board,...
