## Resource

The Colts’ 2026-27 season could be their make-or-break moment. With new ownership giving GM Chris Ballard one last shot, training camp kicks off July 29—and the QB situation is the biggest wild card. Daniel Jones’ Achilles recovery looms large, while Anthony Richardson Jr. battles rookie Riley Leonard for the backup role, possibly heading to trade before kickoff. Jonathan Taylor remains a force, but RB depth behind him is shaky, with DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan vying for the No. 2 spot. The WR corps has solid starters Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, but Ashton Dulin’s readiness as WR3 could be crucial—if either starter falters, the passing game’s in trouble. Offensively, the line is stacked: four starters return, Jalen Travis steps in at right tackle, and Jalen Farmer adds depth. If Ballard’s crew can pull this off, it’s a new era. If not?
