Season so far

The read

There has been significant change in the front office and on the roster. Chris Ballard was dismissed as general manager on October 19. Indianapolis traded DeForest Buckner to San Francisco and Quenton Nelson to Seattle. Jalen Farmer is expected to take Nelson’s place at left guard.

Jones remains the starting quarterback, with Anthony Richardson Sr. listed behind him. Jonathan Taylor leads the running back group, while Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and Laquon Treadwell are listed as the top receivers. Defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore is listed alongside Grover Stewart after Buckner’s departure.

The Colts elevated cornerback Johnathan Edwards and defensive end Carl Lawson ahead of the Jacksonville game. Gould and Walley are ruled out; Boettcher and Ogletree are questionable. Gardner and Warren are cleared to play. Alec Pierce remains on injured reserve with a heel injury, and the latest report said he was unlikely to return to practice during the week. Jacksonville has safety Antonio Johnson out and receiver Jakobi Meyers questionable.
