The Indianapolis Colts started the 2025 season 8-2 but lost the final seven games to miss the playoffs. Indianapolis will look to not repeat its failures from a year ago.
However, the biggest questions for this team surround quarterback Daniel Jones dominate the narrative for the Colts entering the 2026 preseason. Jones made a remarkably quick recovery from a torn Achilles suffered last December, participating in spring workouts and tracking toward full clearance for training camp.
If Jones returns to form, he’ll have to make do with an offense that lost receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to an offseason trade. Alex Pierce, Josh Downs, tight end Tyler Warren and running back Jonathan Taylor are the key names to watch on offense.
Defensively, the team will be led again by defensive linemen DeForest Buckner and Laiatu Latu, as well as a full season of cornerback Sauce Gardner.
