According to Fox Sports Greg Auman, the Indianapolis Colts are reuniting with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran linebacker Anthony Walker Jr.—only this time, on the Horseshoe’s practice squad for now:
The 30-year-old linebacker was originally a 2017 5th round pick of the Colts and made 48 career starts (appearing in 57 career games) over his first four seasons in the league with Indianapolis.
Walker Jr. is coming off a 2024 season for the Miami Dolphins defense, recording 68 tackles (34 solo), an interception, and 2 passes defensed during 14 games (8 starts). Per PFF, he earned just a +48.0 overall...

Following their initial 53-man roster cuts, the Indianapolis Colts 17-man practice squad has now taken shape, although those last few spots may still remain a bit fluid—as other NFL teams continue to fine tune their final active rosters ahead of the regular season’s Week 1:

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Indianapolis Colts had their eye on another recently released linebacker that hit the league’s waiver wire following Tuesday’s initial 53-man roster cuts: former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Cam Jones.
Despite also claiming Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Chad Muma, the Colts placed another waiver claim (*albeit unsuccessfully), on the former Indiana Hoosiers’ standout Jones—who was claimed by the New York Jets instead based upon their superior waiver priority (after finishing with a worse record than Indianapolis last season).
The 2023 undrafted free agent out of Indiana signed with Kansas City back in 2023 and later became...

10 years ago an article like this wouldn’t make much sense. NFL All-22 film wasn’t publicly available, and to be quite honest, many fans at the time didn’t care to watch it.
That’s the one thing I love about where sports media is headed. Access to the nuances of football is at a premium. A decade ago, GMs and coaches could hide behind the idea that the public has no idea what they’re watching. But that’s harder to say in 2025.
Former players and coaches have used their platforms to become content creators. And that’s made it possible for the...

Daniel Jones was just named a captain for the 2025 Indianapolis Colts. Although new, his teammates already look to him as a leader in the locker room and are tasking Jones with being someone at the front of the charge. His first opportunity comes without delay as the Colts seek their first week win since 2013. Yes, you read that right. 2013… The Colts defeated the then Oakland Raiders by a score of 21-17. Since then, it has been nothing but disappointment.
The Colts have thrown countless quarterbacks at the issue; maybe therein lies the problem, but regardless, the team...

The Indianapolis Colts announced their 2025 team captains, which are voted on by their teammates:
It’s worth noting that Indianapolis 3rd-year head coach Shane Steichen introduced this year’s idea of what it means to be a ‘team captain’ prior to the team vote, after legendary Colts Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning had made impassioned speeches in the past to the Horseshoe locker room respectively.
It’s worth noting that the Colts had a whopping 8 team captains last year, so...

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Arizona Cardinals starting linebacker Kyzir White is visiting the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday:
The 6’2”, 234 pound linebacker recorded 137 tackles (60 solo), 9 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, an interception, 3 passes defensed, and a fumble recovery during all 17 starts for Arizona this past season.
Per PFF, White received just a +48.8 overall grade in 2024, but did have a +73.0 run defense grade.
Having recently placed 2nd-year linebacker Jaylon Carlies on injured reserve with a designation to return because of an ankle injury, the Colts have been recently kicking the tires...

The best ability is availability. That is a phrase popularized by coach Bill Parcells, which still holds true today. Most coaches would prefer a player of lesser talent and skill on the field, court, or rink above an uber talented yet oft-injured player. So many times in the NFL, players are given opportunities that can turn into career altering moments due to injury. Get on the field, and the rest can be history. Two young and promising players’ time with the Indianapolis Colts was cut short as both Jelani Woods and JuJu Brents were waived this week. Not that either...

The Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback carousel of the past half-decade has reached its latest installment with the competition between 2023 fourth-overall pick Anthony Richardson and free-agent signee Daniel Jones. With double-digit quarterbacks serving as band-aids since Andrew Luck‘s untimely retirement ahead of the 2019 season, general manager Chris Ballard’s efforts to right the ship have continuously fallen short.
After consecutive offseasons of bringing in aging veterans and/or reclamation projects at the sport’s most vital position, Ballard and Co. finally elected to start over by way of drafting a quarterback in the first round. Though, of course, Ballard’s persistence to keep...

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday that the team has waived rookie 6th rounder Tim Smith to make room for recently claimed former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Chad Muma.
Muma was a former 2022 3rd round pick of the Jaguars, and at 6’3”, 239 pounds, adds depth to the Colts depleted linebacker corps, which just placed 2nd-year pro Jaylon Carlies on injured reserve with a designation to return—meaning he’ll miss at least four games to begin the 2025 regular season.
The former 2x First-Team All-Mountain West standout appeared in 17 games (3 starts) for the Jaguars defense last season, recording 32...

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, both recently released former Indianapolis Colts cornerback JuJu Bents and tight end Jelani Woods were claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets respectively.
Along with Samuel Womack III, who was claimed by the Tennessee Titans, Brents and Woods were two of Indianapolis’s biggest initial 53-man roster cuts on Tuesday.
Originally a 2023 2nd round pick of the Colts, the long-armed, highly athletic 6’3,” 198 pound Brents, a local Warren Central High School standout, couldn’t seemingly stay healthy on the field for Indianapolis. He was limited to just 11 games in...
