INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts open the 2024 regular season on Sept. 8 against the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium.
After falling one win shy of the postseason in 2023, the Colts look to get back into the playoffs. And they'll be doing it with largely the same starting lineup as a year ago, with the organization electing to re-sign a host of its own free agents. The Colts are betting on their own veteran players making additional jumps after another year playing together in the same system.
A big difference: The return of quarterback Anthony Richardson, who started just four games as a rookie last season because of injury.
Here is a 53-man roster projection as the Colts open training camp:
