Seth McGowan is making his case in the Colts’ backfield
Seth McGowan arrived in Indianapolis as a seventh-round pick, which usually means expectations are low and the path to a role is narrow from the beginning. Late-round running backs do not get much handed to them, especially when the starter is Jonathan Taylor and the offense already knows where its identity begins. McGowan was never […]
Colts QB Daniel Jones Improves a Tier, But Still Below Average in The Athletic’s latest ranking
The good news is that Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Daniel Jones ascended a tier in the Athletic’s latest quarterback rankings (subscription) and had the greatest improvement among his colleagues. However, the bad news is that he’s still ranked below average among all league starters—coming in at 21st overall: 21. Daniel Jones Jones made the largest […]
Colts Training Camp ‘Day 6’: Quick Hits
On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts had a consecutive morning practice with pads on, and well there were at least least a handful of key takeaways from their latest ‘gone camping’ day: Danny Dimes Dealing AR Up-and-Down with 2nd-Team Jonathan Taylor Talks Contract Extension Rookie LB Bryce Boettcher Has Big Day With First-Team Defense Rookie WR […]
If the Colts Corners are as advertised, what does it do to the ceiling of the squad?
With Daniel Jones at least looking healthy enough to be the Colts starting QB when the season starts, it does eliminate the biggest question mark for the offense. There are others that include Pierce’s recovery time and the 3rd WR, but I’m allowing myself to feel good about the offense to this point. I also […]
Daniel Jones airs it out, shines as pocket passer on Day 6
WESTFIELD, Ind. — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was on point Tuesday morning with an impressive performance at Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus, proving precisely why the franchise signed him to a two-year, $88 million extension in March with incentives that could reach up to $100M. Before Jones suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, he had […]
Daniel Jones is impressing in his Colts return
When Daniel Jones went down in Jacksonville against the Jaguars, it meant two things: the losing streak was about to continue, and it didn’t look good. Non-contact injuries are the worst possible types of injuries in sports. No one is around, yet the player falls in a heap on the ground. Indianapolis Colts fans’ worst […]
Is Colts’ Chris Ballard on ‘borrowed time’ serving as team’s longtime GM?
Last week to kickoff team training camp, Indianapolis Colts longtime general manager Chris Ballard indicated that if offered a contract extension, he won’t accept it because his built roster needs to win—entering ‘Year 10.’ Now chivalry may not in fact be dead, but on the other hand, there doesn’t appear to be any contract extension […]
Colts Training Camp ‘Day 5’: Quick Hits
Shane Steichen was back, and the Indianapolis Colts completed their first padded practice of team training camp, with some sizzles and surprises on the morning.

Colts make roster move at CB; Work out three other players
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that they waived-injured cornerback Cameron Mitchell and signed fellow corner Mekhi Rodgers in a corresponding roster move. Mitchell was injured during last Friday’s training camp practice and seemingly suffered a shoulder injury while being tended to by members of the Colts medical training staff. If unclaimed, he will revert […]
Top 3 Position Groups The Colts Quietly Need to Produce This Year
When you think of the storylines surrounding the Colts this year of course the big names like Daniel Jones, Josh Downs, and Sauce Gardner come to mind. After all, the Colts need their best players to have good seasons in order to be successful. But for the sake of this exercise, I’m not going to […]
Ground game takes center stage in Colts first padded practice
WESTFIELD, Ind. — The thud of shoulder pads popped and echoed across Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus for the first time as the Indianapolis Colts held their first fully padded practice.

Irsay-Gordon believes the Colts have all they need to win
Carlie Irsay-Gordon is leading the way for the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, she shares ownership with her sisters, but she is calling the shots at the highest level. The late Jim Irsay wasn’t afraid of labeling a season or issuing an “all chips in” type of claim, and it appears that neither is Irsay-Gordon. “Find a […]
Could Marvin Harrison Jr. become a Colts trade target?
Marvin Harrison Jr. to Indianapolis sounds like fan fiction the first time you say it, mostly because of the last name on the jersey. The Colts drafting or trading for Marvin Harrison’s son would be one of those stories that feels almost too neat, the kind of full-circle reunion that writes itself before you even […]

Colts Training Camp Day 3: ‘Find a way’ when opportunity knocks
WESTFIELD, Ind. — I never thought that it would be so simple, but, I found a way. I found a way. When Indianapolis Colts principal owner Carly Irsay-Gordon stood before the team early in training camp, her message wasn’t complicated. Find a way. The phrase couldn’t escape her mind as she was speaking to the […]

Colts defense scores twice on Day 2
WESTFIELD, Ind. — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones sold the play-action before rolling right, looking to find tight end Tyler Warren in rhythm, but with defensive end Laiatu Latu chasing him down quickly, Jones released the pass just behind Warren, which allowed linebacker Austin Ajiake to undercut the throw and race the other way untouched […]
Finally! Colts begin training camp and slow the speculation season.
We have seen players get PUP designation, which is generally one of the first legit pieces of information shared from the team. They let you know in advance why a player is not on the field. In our case, we had to be happy about a short list that did not include Buckner. Most were […]
