Link to story Colts | Steichen: Anthony Richardson attacking his role in the right way Mon Aug 25, 03:45 PM
The Colts elected to select Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson to be their starting quarterback in 2025, putting into question Richardson's future with the organization. Given that, head coach Shane Steichen was asked during his Monday press conference if Richardson had expressed any doubts about his place within the franchise. "Yeah, I mean, I've had conversations with him," Steichen said. "Obviously, he's our backup quarterback right now. [He's] still attacking it the right way, coming in, being a pro, getting in here early, taking care of his body, rehabbing, treatment. And in the QB room, [he's] preparing like he's the starter."
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Myles Simmons suggests, while Steichen noted Jones is set to be the starter for the entire 2025 season, odds are that Richardson will get a shot to play at some point in the year. Jones has never started every game of a season, though he did help lead the Giants to the postseason in 2022 with a career-high 16 starts. We'll see if Richardson is ready for whatever opportunity he gets if and when it comes. |

Colts | Josh Downs expected on field next week Mon Aug 25, 03:30 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (hamstring) is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: James Boyd, who covers the Colts for The Athletic, told us last week that he expects Downs to be the third-most targeted receiving asset in Indy behind Tyler Warren and Michael Pittman Jr. Interesting that the rookie tight end is first on this list, but that's perhaps more a reflection of the quarterback situation than anything. We'll follow up on Downs' progress next week. |

Colts | DJ Giddens to be involved in the passing game Fri Aug 22, 02:44 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens is expected to play a role in the team's passing game to complement Jonathan Taylor, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Per Holder, Taylor is not seen as a strong pass catcher, so this is a role designed for Giddens.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was never supposed to be a big contributor in the passing game, so this doesn't really change his outlook, but it does give Giddens a bigger crack in the door to increase his dynasty value while Taylor is still the workhorse in the running game. Giddens should also be the injury upside backup to Taylor, so he's on our late round radar and waiver wire watch list. |
Colts | DeForest Buckner dealing with injury Thu Aug 21, 01:23 PM
Indianapolis Colts DT DeForest Buckner (back) has missed the last few practices because of a back injury, according to head coach Shane Steichen.

Colts | Michael Pittman back on field Wed Aug 20, 03:17 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (undisclosed) is participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Pittman missed practice on Tuesday, but he's back out there on Wednesday. That means it's just a minor issue. Pittman did have a groin injury that was tweaked earlier in camp. With Daniel Jones at quarterback, Pittman should be the favorite target. He has a current ADP of WR49 and could outperform that spot. |

Link to story Colts | Anthony Richardson's Future With Colts Uncertain Tue Aug 19, 10:20 AM
With Daniel Jones named the starter in Indianapolis, Anthony Richardson is left with an uncertain future. The Colts have publicly said he did not need to win the quarterback battle to have a future in Indianapolis, but it's unclear where he goes from here.
| Footballguys view: Could Richardson move back into the lineup quickly? Steichen is not planning for this to be a short-term arrangement for Jones. "He's the starting QB for the season," Steichen said in announcing the former Giant as his starter. "I don't want to have a short leash on that." The Colts will be required to make a decision on Richardson's fifth-year team option for the 2027 season. We'll be watching this one closely. |

Colts | Daniel Jones named the starter Tue Aug 19, 10:19 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones was named the starting quarterback by head coach Shane Steichen Tuesday, Aug. 19.
| Footballguys view: Jones emerges from a preseason competition with Richardson to take command of the Colts' offense with less than three weeks left until the season opener against the Dolphins. Jones and Richardson had previously split reps with the Colts' first-team offense in practice and two preseason games; Jones will now proceed forward in practice with the Colts' starters. Steichen has said since the spring that a major determining factor in the Colts' quarterback competition is consistency. Richardson has been anything but that in his previous two seasons. We'll see if Jones can get enough done to hold the job. |

Link to story Colts | Groin issue for Braden Smith Sun Aug 17, 09:03 AM
Indianapolis Colts OT Braden Smith (groin) suffered a groin injury during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 16, and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Smith is a good right tackle, but he has missed at least five games in three of the last four years. The Colts also lost Blake Freeland, a 2023 fourth round pick who was competing for the swing tackle job. The offensive line could be thin for the season opener against Miami, who will be starting an 100% new secondary in Week 1. |
Colts | Tyler Goodson leaves early Sun Aug 17, 09:03 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Tyler Goodson (elbow) suffered an elbow injury during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 16, and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: This could be the last domino leading to fifth round rookie DJ Giddens winning the backup running back job. Giddens has had a good summer and already has appeared to pass Khalil Herbert on the depth chart. If Jonathan Taylor misses time, Giddens will have fantasy value. |
Colts | Serious injury for Blake Freeland Sat Aug 16, 10:20 PM
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts OT Blake Freeland (leg) suffered a fractured leg during the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Saturday, Aug. 16, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
Link to story Colts | Coach close to naming starting QB? Sat Aug 16, 05:38 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson and QB Daniel Jones have been competing for the starting quarterback job during training camp, and head coach Shane Steichen said hopes to make a decision shortly.
| Footballguys view: Jones started Saturday's preseason game vs. the Packers, playing 15 snaps over two drives and completing 7-of-11 passes for 101 yards. Richardson followed, playing 24 snaps and going 6-of-11 for 73 yards, with a 38-yard strike wiped out by a penalty. Steichen emphasized that evaluations go beyond the stats to include huddle communication, checks, and operational consistency as key factors in the Colts' decision-making process. We still expect Richardson to get the nod, but we'll be watching for the final call and will pass it along when the announcement is made. |

Link to story Colts | Downs hurts hamstring Thu Aug 14, 05:23 PM
Colts WR Josh Downs left practice on Thursday complaining about pain in his hamstring.
| Footballguys view: As good as Downs is, with a preseason hamstring injury and one of the worst quarterback situations in the league, it will be difficult to take him near ADP. This does make Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren more palatable at ADP, and opens a door for Adonai Mitchell to hit early as a late pick after having an outstanding camp that has observers buzzing about his potential. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson likely to resume practicing Sat Aug 9, 11:33 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (finger) is expected to resume practicing Saturday, Aug. 9, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: The X-rays on Richardson's dislocated pinky finger came back positive, so he may not miss as much time as originally feared. Richardson is competing with Daniel Jones to be the starting quarterback for the Colts. While he may be more naturally talented than Jones, Richardson tends to get banged up quite a bit. |
