Bijan Robinson shines as Falcons excel in Day 1 of Falcons-Colts joint practice

Day 1 of the Falcons-Colts joint practices at Grand Park Sports Complex was high-energy. Tua Tagovailoa led the Falcons’ first-team reps with a mix of positives and mistakes (sacks, a fumble, and a pick-6); Bijan Robinson looked dominant on offense, Drake London made a highlight-reel catch, and AJ Terrell rebounded after a lapse. The Falcons’ receivers and tight ends appear dangerous if quarterback play improves; rookie Kendal Daniels impressed on defense, while Colts’ Daniel Jones went 15-for-15 against Atlanta’s defense. Stefanski was slated to speak later and practice began at 3 p.m. ET.

Keenan Allen's Colts Move Reshapes Indy’s Fantasy Outlook

The Colts signed veteran Keenan Allen, reuniting him with coach Shane Steichen and adding a high-target option for Indy, though his aging efficiency could cap big-yardage upside. Allen could start with a larger role if Alec Pierce misses Week 1, but is expected to slide into a more part-time role once Pierce returns, potentially limiting Downs’ and Pierce’s ceiling while Warren remains a key fantasy contributor in the short term.

Colts land veteran Keenan Allen on a one-year deal

The Colts signed wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year, $8.32 million contract to upgrade their receiving corps while Alec Pierce recovers from offseason ankle surgery. Allen, 34, isn’t a deep threat, so he should provide reliable underneath targets and immediate fantasy relevance, likely sharing looks with Josh Downs and Tyler Warren as Pierce heals; the move could help the offense, though overall efficiency may dip without a true deep threat.

Daniel Jones Targets Full-Speed Return From Achilles Tear

Daniel Jones is closing in on a full-speed return from his December Achilles tear, guided by a grueling 6 a.m.–6 p.m. rehab routine and high marks from Colts coaches. In camp he’s looked healthy and explosive, with GPS data showing his top sprint speed nearing his pre-injury level (about 19.7 mph, after a 21.23 mph peak in 2020), as he continues to master the Colts’ offense in Year 2 and push to reclaim the starting role.

Patriots preseason opener vs Colts reveals roster depth and kicking woes

Patriots’ first preseason game at Gillette exposed depth-chart battles more than star power: kicker Andy Borregales missed multiple field goals, while Bryce Baringer delivered solid punts; younger receivers like Boutte, Hollins, Williams, and Chism earned snaps with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs sidelined. Interior offensive line injuries to Ben Brown and Andrew Rupcich thin the depth, though James Hudson showed four-position versatility and Caleb Lomu had a costly downfield penalty. Jam Miller and Lan Larison carried most of the load in the backfield as Gabe Jacas impressed with his rush ability, and K.J. Britt and Chad Muma had mixed linebacker showings. The defense forced four turnovers with Kindle Vildor’s INT, but coverage against tight ends and some miscues at linebacker remain concerns heading into next week’s practices and game to tighten up the unit.

Colts Special Teams Coordinator Sidelined by Knee Injury in Sideline Collision

Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason reportedly suffered multiple torn ligaments after a sideline collision on the final play of Thursday’s preseason matchup with the Patriots; he was treated on the sideline and flown back to Indianapolis for evaluation, with no timetable yet for his return. Mason, who joined the Colts in 2023, helped oversee a top-ranked special teams unit, and the team has two more preseason games before the Sept. 13 opener against Baltimore.

Richardson: preseason debut falls short, vows to improve

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson said he didn’t play well in Thursday night’s preseason opener, finishing 11-of-14 for 145 yards with an interception and a fumble, plus 53 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. He noted the turnovers overshadowed the good moments, while coach Shane Steichen praised some positives and said turnovers hurt drives. Richardson, entering Year Four after being drafted No. 4 in 2023, remains in a scenario where Indianapolis is evaluating him as he competes for a depth/backup role.

Patriots Cornerback Christian Gonzalez Misses Colts Practice; Injury Not Contract Issue

Christian Gonzalez was not seen at Tuesday’s Patriots–Colts joint practice due to a minor injury, not contract talks, per Greg Bedard. He had been a full participant this summer after a shakier spring, and Monday’s practice saw him contest a throw but stay on the field. ESPN’s Ian Rapoport said contract talks could extend into next season, while Gonzalez later appeared on NFL Network’s Top 100 list. The team is set to practice again Saturday, and there’s a chance he wouldn’t play in Thursday’s preseason opener anyway.

Pierce not given second PRP injection, Colts optimistic for season, Ballard confirms

Colts GM Chris Ballard clarified that Alec Pierce did not receive a second PRP injection to speed his ankle healing; Pierce had PRP in January and later underwent ankle surgery in March, with no second injection, and he’s expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, after signing a four-year, $114 million extension and participating in a joint practice with the Patriots.

Colts-Pats joint practice: depth shines, skirmish flares, and early signals ahead of preseason

The Colts and Patriots held their first joint practice in Foxborough with notable depth on display as Josh Downs and Hunter Wohler returned from injuries and Charvarius Ward sat out with a back issue. Highlights included a two-minute sequence where Tommy DeVito hit Mack Hollins for a long score and Riley Leonard connected efficiently with the No. 2 offense, plus Camryn Bynum’s end-zone interception on a Drake Maye drive; a brief fight involving Durell Nchami also occurred. In red-zone work, Jonathan Taylor, Seth McGowan and Ulysses Bentley IV scored for Indy, though the Colts’ receivers weren’t always open and the offensive line faced pressure from the Patriots. Daniel Jones had a productive two-minute portion, and the pace was slower than a typical Colts practice, signaling competitive depth ahead of the preseason.

Colts Day 8 Camp: Richardson Flashes, Downs Injured, Latu Shines

Colts Day 8 camp, themed 'Salute for Service,' was relatively quiet: Anthony Richardson flashed mobility and potential but faced no demotion; Josh Downs was sidelined with a groin injury; Laiatu Latu delivered his best day rushing the passer; Blake Grupe continued to impress; and the defense, especially the secondary, remained stingy throughout the session.

The Indianapolis Colts secured star running back Jonathan Taylor with a two-year extension worth up to $47 million, including $39 million guaranteed and a $15 million signing bonus, keeping him under contract through 2028 and cementing him as the team’s offensive focal point after a season that saw him lead the NFL in carries and rushing TDs.
