Stock report from Colts’ 38-27 loss to Saints

Checking in on the stock report from the Colts’ Week 8 loss.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-5) suffered their third consecutive loss Sunday when they were defeated 38-27 against the New Orleans Saints (4-4) at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Week 8 loss was a tough one. The Colts were competitive going into halftime, even leading 17-7 early in the second quarter. That’s true for the majority of the third quarter as well until the Saints put together consecutive touchdown drives to put the game away.

Now, it’s time to take a look at how this game impacted the stock of a handful of players.

When taking stock of a player’s performance, it’s best to be fluid. A player’s stock will fall and rise throughout the season so none of this is set in stone. However, it is important to take note of the narratives and storylines taking place as the campaign progresses.

A player’s stock can be impacted by factors such as their performance or the type of snaps they receive during the games.

T Braden Smith Hip/Wrist DNP DNP DNP Out
CB Tony Brown Ribs DNP Questionable
DT DeForest Buckner Rest DNP
C Ryan Kelly Rest DNP

Notes

  • It’s no surprise regarding the three players who were ruled out. TE Kylen Granson appears to be progressing so look for his status next week.
  • RT Braden Smith hasn’t practiced since injuring his hip during the Thursday practice in Week 6. He will miss his third consecutive game.
  • DT Eric Johnson II has been trending in the right direction all week and his full participation status Friday is encouraging for his chances to play.
  • The fact that RB Zack Moss was downgraded Friday after being a limited participant the day before may suggest he didn’t respond well to practicing. He’s likely a game-time decision.
  • CB Tony Brown was a new addition to the report Friday so there’s a chance the Colts are without two cornerbacks.

T Braden Smith Hip/Wrist DNP DNP DNP Out
DT DeForest Buckner Rest DNP
C Ryan Kelly Rest DNP

Notes

  • TE Kylen Granson didn’t practice all week so he won’t have time to clear the concussion protocol. Expect rookie Will Mallory to be active in his place as the move tight end.
  • WR Alec Pierce was upgraded to a full participant during Friday’s practice, which bodes well for his chances to play despite the questionable tag.
  • RT Braden Smith will miss his second consecutive game after picking up a hip injury during practice in Week 6. Rookie Blake Freeland will make his fourth consecutive start and second consecutive start at right tackle.
  • DT DeForest Buckner and C Ryan Kelly received veteran rest days and should be expected to play.

11 winners from Colts offseason workout program

Taking a look at 11 winners from the Colts’ offseason workout program.

The Indianapolis Colts have roughly one month until the arrival of training camp, which is when the real competition for the final roster spots will take place.

Though we should be careful about how much information we take seriously during the spring practices, it never hurts to monitor the players who stand out in OTAs and minicamp. Jobs are not won in the spring, but the foundation for the competitions is being laid out.

Here are 11 winners from the Colts offseason workout program in 2023:

6 most intriguing position battles to watch at Colts’ OTAs

Taking a look at the most intriguing position battles as the Colts begin OTAs.

The offseason program for the Indianapolis Colts kicked off last month and continues with organized team activities (OTAs) this week.

These activities happen in three phases (May 23-25, May 31-June 2, and June 5-8) and will consist of in-person meetings and dedicated classroom teaching designed to help players improve during the offseason.

It’s also significant because it marks the first time the Colts can run drills between the offense and defense even though no pads or contact are permitted.

As the players reconvene, the evaluation process of the roster begins. It’s a critical time for a young team such as the Colts.

Here are the most intriguing position battles to watch at Colts’ OTAs:

Grading the Colts’ free agency moves in 2023

Grading every move the Colts have made in free agency this offseason.

The Indianapolis Colts have turned their attention to the 2023 NFL draft after making some waves since the opening of free agency last month.

While the Colts are still likely to add a handful of pieces to the roster before the draft—specifically at cornerback and offensive line—the majority of their moves have been made in free agency.

If and when those moves are made before the draft, we’ll add them to this list of grades.

Even with the noise quieting down, we’re still tracking the moves the Colts are making in free agency and will do so through the month of April.

Here’s a look at our grades for the Colts’ moves in free agency, which also includes the notable moves of a trade and the release of a pair of starters:

Colts’ Tony Brown contract details

Here are the contract details for Colts CB Tony Brown.

The Indianapolis Colts re-signed cornerback Tony Brown during free agency, adding some depth to the defense while keeping a special teams contributor around.

It’s just a one-year deal for the 27-year-old so there isn’t a whole lot to break down. According to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston, here’s how the one-year deal looks.

  • $1.08 million base salary ($347,500 guaranteed)
  • $152,500 signing bonus

The Colts have a massive need at the cornerback position following the trade that sent Stephon Gilmore to the Dallas Cowboys. With both Kenny Moore II and Isaiah Rodgers Sr. in contract years, the room is incredibly thin.

We should expect the Colts to make a move both in free agency and the 2023 NFL draft while Brown continues his work as a depth piece on defense and a mainstay on special teams.
