Indianapolis Colts News

"This Colts team is going to be playing in January. They have one of the best individual game planning defensive coordinators in football." @minakimes believes the Colts' defense is built for a deep playoff run 📈

Crazy Stat of the Day. Anthony Richardson Sr.'s 9-yard reception to himself (batted pass) is the longest catch by a Colts QB in club history. Not that there was much competition. btw It was AR's 2nd career catch. Had one in 2024 at Denver for the more conventional minus-1. Catches by Colts QBs *AR (2, with a long of 9) *Jacoby Brissett (1/minus-1) *Andrew Luck (1/4) *Peyton Manning (1/minus-2) *Jim Harbaugh (1/minus-9) *Mike Pagel (1/6) *John Unitas (1/1) Now you know.

The #Colts are signing kicker Michael Badgley to the active roster, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. After Spencer Shrader's season-ending knee injury, Indy moves forward with Badgley, who kicked for Indy in 2021 and is healthy after missing last season because of injury.

Colts K workouts today included Michael Badgley and Dustin Hopkins. Money Badger kick with Indy in 2021. Missed 2024 with torn hamstring.

motion.

My understanding is Michael Badgley, who kicked for the Colts in 2021, is a possibility to replace Spencer Shrader. Dustin Hopkins, Matt Ammendola among the others who were at today's workout.

Colts ST coordinator Brian Mason said team worked out kickers today, but wasn’t in position to elaborate. Replacement needed for Spencer Shrader (torn ACL, MCL in right knee). Mason said everyone is ‘gutted’ by injury.

Colts sp teams coordinator Brian Mason says the Colts held a kicker work out today but are still working through the decision on who will replace Spencer Shrader. He added that punter Rigoberto Sanchez could potentially handle kickoffs moving forward. TBD on that.

Colts kicker workout happened earlier today. Brian Mason says they're still working through who will be the new guy.

let the pads talk 🗣️

Daniel Jones obviously doing a great job limiting turnovers, but his ability to not take sacks has also been awesome Career pressure-to-sack rate: 2019: 18.1% (22nd) 2020: 21.6% (32nd) 2021: 15.7% (14th) 2022: 17.8% (16th) 2023: 31.6% (44th) 2024: 20% (22nd) ... 2025: 6.9% (2nd)

Me if someone said before the season that the Jags & Colts would be 4-1, the Chiefs would be 2-3, and the Ravens would be 1-4

Just one division has two 4 win teams through Week 5: the AFC South. 4-1 Jaguars 4-1 Colts

Steichen says Colts will bring in kickers over the next 24 hours to try out, and they'll go from there.

Colts coach Shane Steichen says kicker Spencer Shrader tore his ACL and MCL in his knee and will miss the rest of the season.

Colts Shane Steichen: Spencer Shrader tore ACL, MCL.

No further update on Grover Stewart (bicep) or Mike Hilton (shoulder)

The #Raiders have released veteran LB Germaine Pratt, who started the first four games and recorded 25 tackles but didn’t travel with the team this week to Indy and is now being cut.

I thought Colts would kick the tires after Cincy released him.

And then there's the flip side. I was there in 1991 when Colts finished 1-15. They scored 143 points. All season. 14 TDs. All season. Daniel Jones & Co. have 18 TDs. And counting.

Colts offense on a roll. 32.6 ppg No. 2 in NFL behind Detroit's 34.8. Most pts by Colts in 1st 5 games in Indy era: *164 (2007) *163 (2025) *159 (2004) *158 (2003) *156 (2014).
