Which Colts Training Camp Storylines Actually Matter?

Colts have plenty to evaluate after preseason opener tie with Patriots
For the Indianapolis Colts, the 13-13 preseason opener stalemate does not reflect the numerous missed opportunities to step on the necks of the reining AFC-champions, punch the ball into the end zone, or for either quarterback to claim their job on the depth chart. The Colts turned the ball over four times through the first […]

Pat McAfee recounts walk-through ‘friendly fire’ incident between former Colts teammates we can now laugh about
On ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ former Indianapolis Colts All-Pro punter Pat McAfee recounted an incident presumably back in 2013, when former NFL Pro Bowl safety LaRon Landry ‘made a debut statement’ by unnecessarily laying out his new teammate, future Hall of Fame wideout Reggie Wayne.

Colts roster 2026: Tanor Bortolini, Arden Key, Bryce Boettcher are underrated
From 1999 through 2018, the Indianapolis Colts were one of the NFL’s luckiest (pun intended) teams when it came to quarterback security. That Peyton Manning guy worked out pretty well, and the transition from the Manning era to the Andrew Luck era (with the Curtis Painter/Dan Orlovsky/Kerry Collins year of 2011 in-between) was about as […]

Ballard deserves more blame then he gets for drafting Richardson to the Colts
There are five stages of grief with acceptance being the final one. Indianapolis Colts fans moved to that last stage extremely quickly after it was obvious the Anthony Richardson experiment was over. It technically continues, but the way camp has gone, barring an injury to Riley Leonard, he is going to have to be Superman […]

Thursday could determine the Colts backup quarterback
The starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts is known. Daniel Jones is back and appears to be at full strength. Nothing in the preseason is going to change that. Many starters’ roles are safe, but NFL teams are comprised of 53 players. Depth is needed behind those starters, and the preseason is the best opportunity […]

That being said, Boyd later noted that the second PRP injection wasn’t considered […]
Colts release first unofficial depth chart ahead of preseason opener
The Colts released their first unofficial depth chart of the 2026 season Monday ahead of Thursday night’s preseason opener against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

What’s going on with Alec Pierce?
The Colts are now at the point where Alec Pierce’s ankle situation deserves more than the usual “he’s doing a great job in rehab” answer.
