The Colts could be getting back one of their young, fairly promising cornerbacks for an extended look to close out the 2024 season—if he can return to game days.

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday that 2nd-year cornerback JuJu Brents has been designated to return to practice on injured reserve:

Having been limited to just 9 games as a rookie (including quadriceps and hamstring injuries), the former Colts’ 2023 2nd round pick appeared in just 1 game for Indianapolis this season before being placed on injured reserve with a significant knee injury.

During that lone start, Brents had 7 tackles...

Having found success with Samuel Womack III, the Colts have turned their attention to another waived ex-49ers cornerback.

According to the ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Indianapolis Colts have claimed another former San Francisco 49ers cornerback off waivers.

Having previously claimed now starting cornerback Samuel Womack III, the Colts added Ambry Thomas also from the 49ers off the league’s waiver wire:

Originally a 2021 3rd round pick of San Francisco, the 6’0,” 190 pound cornerback (with 32 1/4” arms) has 79 tackles (61 solo), a tackle for loss, 2 interceptions, 12 passes defensed, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery during...

Each week during the season, I will be walking through the data from the previous Colts game and analyzing the numbers to form a sort of “what happened” narrative, as well as comparing the Colts against all other teams in the league. For a glossary of the stats listed, reference Season Stats. Thanks to Pro Football Reference, NFL.com, Football Outsiders, and the nflFastR project for being awesome sources of weekly data.

It all started out so well. After back to back opening drives that yielded 10 points, the Colts offense looked unstoppable against Denver. Unfortunately, the rest of the...

We now know more about the Colts scheduling for Week 17...

The NFL announced on Tuesday that the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 17 road matchup against the New York Giants is scheduled for Sunday, December 29th at 1 PM EST (FOX).

It was previously listed as ‘TBD’ on the team’s schedule and could’ve been scheduled for either Saturday or Sunday of that week.

It will be a matchup between the currently 6-8 Colts and the 2-12 Giants—in what once upon a time would’ve been considered a ‘Manning Bowl.’

The Colts’ Week 18 regular season finale at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars...

The Colts continued their 2024 season on the road on Sunday against an AFC foe in the Denver Broncos The Broncos were 8-5 on the year, coming off a thumping week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns. The Colts went into week 15 without right tackle Braden Smith and center Ryan Kelly but saw the return of wide receiver Josh Downs.

The Colts now sit at 6-8, currently second in the AFC South and 3 wins back from the leaders the Houston Texans. The Texans were crowned AFC South Champions after their win and the Colts loss. The Colts all...

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Tennessee Titans are planning a change at starting quarterback ahead of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts (1 PM EST, CBS).

Specifically, it’s expected the Titans are hoping that Rudolph will help steer and steady their sleigh in tumultuous skies ahead of Christmas Day—and that he’ll shine ‘oh so bright’!

That is, Mason Rudolph.

It will not be a clash of 2023 top quarterbacks prospects after all, as Colts’ 2nd-year starter Anthony Richardson will not go head-to-head against fellow draft class member Will Levis.

The since demoted Titans started threw 3 interceptions during 12...

The Colts have added a tight end to their taxi team, who was once considered a developmental sleeper given his unique size-speed combination at the position.

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday that the team has signed former Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. to the team’s practice squad with an open spot:

The 6’5,” 258 pound tight end has 54 receptions for 546 receiving yards (10.1 ypr. avg.) and 4 touchdown receptions during 30 games (7 career starts). He most recently played for the Philadelphia Eagles last season (2023), when he appeared in 4 games.

Of course, the...

Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data.

For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the upcoming opponent QB has performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the charts throughout the season. Commentary will be brief but feel free to let me know in the comments that stats aren’t everything. (click charts for larger view)

There are those that believe the momentum fairy caused Anthony Richardson,...

Double-header tonight with two games that are not really interesting.

And we close off one of the final weeks of NFL football with a double-header on our hands tonight, as the Minnesota Vikings (- 320) host the Bears (+ 260) in an NFC North rivalry, and then another (as there are no more bye weeks) with the Raiders (+ 215) hosting the Falcons (- 260).

For the first matchup there is no surprise as the Vikings open as heavy favourites against the Bears, considering they not only play at home but also have been one of the best teams...

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

With just three games remaining in the 2024 season, the Indianapolis Colts are all but eliminated from playoff contention.. again. They are currently slated with the 12th pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and are once again sitting in the same position they’ve been in since the unfathomable collapse that was the 2021 season.

It’s as evident as ever that change needs to be made, but how much and who specifically needs to go remains the unanswerable question. It’s quite easy for some fans and analysts,...

It’s getting more and more difficult to root for this team

MVP of the Game: Zaire Franklin

Credit where credit is due, Zaire had himself an amazing game, and on the biggest stage too. He finished the game close to ten tackles, and had a vital interception early on in the game when we still had a chance to win it. I was very critical of Franklin this season, but I have to tip my hat he was the best Colt on the field yesterday.

Dud of the Game: Jonathan Taylor

You know the reason JT is the...
