It was a tough season for the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver corps and especially for its top player in T.Y. Hilton, who battled through several injuries during the 2019 campaign.

2019 Stats

Season Review

Even with the change at quarterback from Andrew Luck to Jacoby Brissett, there was still hope that Hilton would be able to lead the offense with explosiveness. However, due to that change under center and the various injuries that Hilton dealt with, that didn’t come to fruition.

Hilton started off strong catching four touchdown passes in the first three games of the season. But his yardage stats would wind up taking a hit. That likely stems from the 11.1 yards per reception mark, the lowest of his career.

Ghost battled through a groin injury early in the season and then a calf tear at the midway point. He never truly got back to form and by the time he did, the Colts were already knocked out of the playoffs.

Offseason Outlook

Hilton is signed through the 2020 season. He will be leading the way in the wide receiver room for the Colts for at least one more season. Beyond that, it isn’t clear what the Colts plan to do.

Chris Ballard and the front office need to add to the room behind Hilton this offseason. Whether that’s investing during free agency or building up the room through the draft, the Colts have to add some help for Hilton.

Conclusion

It was a disappointing season for the Colts offense. Hilton is included with that mostly because he could never shake the injury bug. Hopefully, he can put together a healthy season in 2020 like he’s done for the majority of his career.
