Team news: Indianapolis Colts

The Colts activated WR T.Y. Hilton from the NFI list on Wednesday after he passed a physical.

Hilton was on the NFI list due to a minor hamstring issue. Now that he is active he can begin practicing with the team and developing a rapport with new QB Philip Rivers. The pair's chemistry will be crucial as Hilton looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 season.

T.Y. Hilton says "maybe a couple more days" before being ready to come back from the hamstring.

Hilton said he is feeling good. He added the training staff has been conservative with him, which makes sense given it's still August, but Hilton denies he'll be held back by injuries this season.

Jonathan Taylor is expected to share carries with starter Marlon Mack, but don’t be surprised if the rookie has a few breakout games and HC Frank Reich stays with him.

The story said the coaches are impressed by Taylor's physical appearance and the rookies have been in the building longer than anyone so coaches are getting good looks. It added Reich likes riding the hot hand, so if Taylor is giving a defense trouble, the author thinks Reich will keep calling his number.

The Indianapolis Colts today placed wide receiver T.Y. Hilton on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.

Hilton is dealing with a minor hamstring issue according to reports. He's on track to play Week 1 but it's always something to watch.

Despite an injury-plagued season, Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said that the pass offense runs through T.Y. Hilton. “I expect a great bounce back from a year he had a lot of injuries,” Sirianni said. “I expect the 2018 version of him. If T.Y. stays healthy, there’s no doubt that’s what we’ll see. … He’s still the main piece of this offense. T.Y. Hilton is who this pass offense runs through.”

T.Y. Hilton was named the receiving corps' key player by Ayello.

Hilton receives a glowing endorsement entering a contract season. In Hilton's last healthy season (2018), he recorded 76 catches for 1,270 yards and 7 TDs. He is being drafted as a high-end WR2.

Former Chargers' QB Philip Rivers and the Colts reached agreement on a 1-year deal, per source.

Colts are giving Philip Rivers a one-year, $25 million deal, per source.

Philip Rivers ends his 16-year tenure with the Chargers as their all-time leader in passing yards (59,271), passing touchdowns (397) and completions (4,908). He joins the Colts having started every game since 2006 and inherits a talented offense featuring T.Y. Hilton, Marlon Mack and third-year wideout Zach Pascal.

“In anything you do, it’s the people you do it with that make it special. There are so many relationships and memories with coaches, support staff and teammates that will last forever, and for that I am so thankful."
