With several teams kicking off their organized team activities this week, the NFL offseason is in full swing.
Teams have OTAs sprinkled in over the next three weeks before a month-long break until training camp begins in mid-to-end July.
We’ll be reviewing the major offseason changes for all 32 teams in addition to previewing what to expect from each team as they head into training camp. Below is our 2026 training camp preview for the Indianapolis Colts.
Voluntary OTAs: May 26-27, May 29, June 1-2, June 4
Mandatory minicamp: June 9-11
Training camp: mid-July
NFL Hall of Fame game: Aug. 6

Quarterback Daniel Jones (3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions) had the Colts rolling until a torn Achilles ended his season near the end of November. Indianapolis had an 8-4 record when Jones went down, and a combination of Riley Leonard and Philip Rivers went a combined 0-5 to close out the season, ending the team’s playoff hopes.
But with Jones cashing in on a monster two-year, $88 million deal this offseason, if he can stay healthy, the Colts might be right back in the playoff picture in 2026.
Losing receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and edge-rusher Kwity Paye were big blows, but keeping Alec Pierce and signing Arden Key, were wins for the team. A strong draft haul and building up solid depth in free agency should help the Colts stay afloat in the AFC South. A division title might be unattainable with the Jaguars and Texans both fielding playoff-caliber rosters, but the Colts will be a tough out for anyone in 2026.
