The Indianapolis Colts have been waiting on pins and needles for an update on Shaquille Leonard’s status as Week 1 nears. The latest update on Leonard from head coach Frank Reich certainly won’t ease any Colts fans’ concerns, though. Leonard has spent most of the offseason rehabbing his way back from a back surgery he […]

The Indianapolis Colts are up against the clock when it comes to star linebacker Shaq Leonard. Leonard is still recovering from offseason back surgery, and the Colts will have to decide whether or not to place him on the PUP list ahead of the regular season. Of course, if Leonard does land on PUP, he’ll […]

Although the Carson Wentz blockbuster trade happened months ago, the Indianapolis Colts are working to shake off the bad breakup and work with new quarterback Matt Ryan. After Wentz failed to work with head coach Frank Reich, who first helped unlock his talents, Indy has to prove that their fifth quarterback in five years is worth […]

The Indianapolis Colts have struggled to find a franchise quarterback ever since the shocking retirement of Andrew Luck. They’ve gone through a slew of guys since, from the likes of Jacoby Brissett to Philip Rivers to more recently, Carson Wentz. This offseason, they brought in former MVP Matt Ryan from the Falcons. More recently, the […]

The Indianapolis Colts have officially reshaped their whole quarterback room by signing Nick Foles to be the backup to Matt Ryan. In a move that certainly (albeit, probably indirectly) shows they are through with Carson Wentz, the Colts signed the former Super Bowl MVP to provide depth behind their new star quarterback and reunite him […]

One of the most iconic Super Bowl victories of all time, the Philadelphia Eagles’ toppling of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII was in large part thanks to Nick Foles. The 2012 third-round pick became the Eagles’ starter late in the season and navigated the team to a championship, earning the Super Bowl […]

Even after the Indianapolis Colts traded for one-time NFL MVP winner Matt Ryan earlier in the offseason, they could be on the verge of hauling in another former MVP.

Matt Ryan has begun his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Indianapolis Colts had an embarrassing collapse at the end of the 2021 regular season, that saw the team shockingly fall out of the playoff race. Much of the blame was placed upon the shoulders of former Colts QB Carson Wentz, who was ushered out the door hastily this offseason in a trade with the […]

The Indianapolis Colts are not strangers to adding high-profile quarterbacks in recent years. But to their misfortune, they haven’t found one that sticks. Matt Ryan is their latest attempt to find a QB that will help lead them deep in the playoffs. Because the roster around him is so strong, Ryan is a strong piece […]

The Indianapolis Colts 2021 season was a roller coaster ride. They began the year dropping the first three games. Rarely ever do teams make the playoffs are starting 0-3. Yet, with only a couple games remaining in the season, they found themselves sitting position to do just that. They were 9-6, after having won nine […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz had quite the performance to forget in the Week 18 road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts lost 23-20 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Carson Wentz’s return from COVID-19 protocols. The quarterback spent five days in isolation and he certainly looked like he had missed some time, struggling to really get going. Wentz was 0 for 4 to begin the game and as a whole, the […]

The Indianapolis Colts are in a bit of a quarterback conundrum following the positive COVID-19 test submitted by Carson Wentz on Tuesday. While the NFL’s new COVID protocols would enable Wentz to return before Sunday’s matchup, should he be asymptomatic, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to play. Well, head coach Frank Reich and […]

As training camps are set to begin in the NFL, a lot remains in limbo regarding the Covid-19 policies for the league and how certain matters will be addressed.

The quarterback position has been somewhat of a revolving door for the Indianapolis Colts ever since Andrew Luck shocked the league by retiring before the start of the 2019 season.

Relationships played a role in the Indianapolis Colts acquiring quarterback Carson Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles.

The trade between the Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts centered on quarterback Carson Wentz is done, with every major news outlet and even the NFL reporting about the deal on social media.

Philip Rivers may have played his last game for the Indianapolis Colts — or in the NFL for that matter. Saturday’s 27-24 Wildcard round defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills could prove to be Rivers’ swansong if he opts to enter free agency, or perhaps even retirement. If you ask Colts head coach […]

There will be a homecoming of sorts for Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich when they visit the Buffalo Bills for their encounter in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Ahead of their meeting with the Bills, Reich emphasized that the Colts aren’t the team that has the pressure on them to win. “The pressure is not on us,” Frank Reich said, […]

The Indianapolis Colts could just as easily get caught watching the scoreboard on Sunday as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Philip Rivers has found his groove in recent weeks with the Indianapolis Colts, which has led some to believe he could be back next season.

Michael Pittman just produced the best performance of his career with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night versus the Tennessee Titans.

Jacoby Brissett has already worn a lot of hats for the Indianapolis Colts. Now, it seems he could be a hybrid, of sorts. With Philip Rivers slated to take over as the starter in Indy, Colts head coach Frank Reich said he might deploy Brissett in a role similar to that of New Orleans Saints […]

The Indianapolis Colts have been an active team this offseason, putting together a contending roster for the 2020 season.
