2026 Preview: Indianapolis Colts' Struggles and Changes
The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season after finishing 2025 with a record of 8-9. The team started strong, winning eight of their first ten games, but suffered a dramatic collapse in the second half of the season, losing all seven games after their bye week.
During their successful start, the Colts secured victories against teams like the Dolphins and the Titans. However, their performance declined sharply, culminating in a series of injuries to key players, including quarterback Daniel Jones, who signed a two-year contract worth $88 million despite an Achilles injury. The Colts also made headlines by trading for All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner, but injuries plagued the team thereafter.
In the offseason, the Colts made several roster changes, including drafting linebacker CJ Allen and acquiring defensive players to bolster their lineup. The team is also introducing new uniforms for the upcoming season. Despite the challenges, the Colts remain hopeful as they prepare for another attempt to improve their standing in the league.
