Indianapolis Colts OT Eric Fisher (Achilles) isn't putting a timeline on his return from a torn left Achilles tendon.

'Obviously, I'd like to snap my fingers and have a perfect Achilles again, but you know, that's not the case. Obviously, the club feels good with where I'm at, I'm feeling good, but any other questions about my Achilles, I'll leave up to Chris Ballard or Coach (Frank Reich).'

Colts | Mo Alie-Cox terms Tue May 4, 09:25 AM
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox will earn $3.384 million in 2021.
| Footballguys view: Alie-Cox has been developing as a tight end and hopes to improve his numbers from last year. He works as a backup to Jack Doyle but does get some work in the red zone. |

Colts | Marlon Mack in good shape to begin season Mon May 3, 10:06 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (Achilles) is 'ready to go' from the torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Week 1 of the 2020 season, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
| Footballguys view: Achilles' injuries are no longer as serious as they used to be. Recovery from that injury is better developed than in the past, and it sounds like Mack will be good to go for the season opener. We'll likely see him eased into action when training camp begins with an eye on him being available for Week 1. |

Colts | Mo Alie-Cox under contract Mon May 3, 01:06 PM
Indianapolis Colts restricted free-agent TE Mo Alie-Cox signed his one-year tender offer Monday, May 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Alie-Cox stays with the Colts as a restricted free agent and we'll see if his role grows this upcoming season. His 38 targets in 2020 were the most of his career and he could get a similar amount of passes thrown his way this season. With Jack Doyle ahead of him on the depth chart it seems like Alie-Cox is going to be in a TEBC once again. |

Colts | Tarik Black catches on with Indianapolis Mon May 3, 12:52 AM
Undrafted free-agent WR Tarik Black (Texas) agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, May 2.
| Footballguys view: Black began his college career at Michigan and was slowed by foot injuries in his first two seasons with the Wolverines. He was a graduate transfer who went to Texas in 2020 and posted 10 catches for 240 yards and one touchdown. Black has a nice size/speed combination but with concentration problems and lack of production at two stops in college he is a long shot to do much in the NFL. |
Colts | Indy adds Tyler Vaughns Sun May 2, 08:08 PM
Undrafted free-agent WR Tyler Vaughns (Southern California) has agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts on a deal that includes a $22,000 signing bonus, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Vaughns was a four year starter for the Trojans yet never led the team in receiving. He's a fine route runner and can win at the catch point. Vaughns is not a burner and will struggle to create separation against NFL cornerbacks. |
Colts | Deon Jackson joining Colts Sat May 1, 08:38 PM
Undrafted free-agent RB Deon Jackson (Duke) agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts Saturday, May 1, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Jackson is a big back (220 pounds) with athleticism and power. He is more quick than fast but does a good job staying patient as a runner. Jackson had 14 fumbles over the last three seasons and needs to improve in pass protection if he wants to make it in the NFL. |
Colts | Sam Ehlinger an option for Indianapolis Sat May 1, 05:14 PM
Texas QB Sam Ehlinger was selected in the sixth round (218th pick) of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts Saturday, May 1.
| Footballguys view: Ehlinger was a leader for the Longhorns in college, winning with mobility and good decision making as a passer. He's a "pure sight" thrower similar to what Jalen Hurts was in college, so Ehlinger needs to work on his anticipation as a passer and throwing guys open. We'll see how he develops with the Colts behind Carson Wentz. |

Indianapolis Colts restricted free-agent WR Zach Pascal signed his second-round tender Monday, April 19. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Pascal wasn't going anywhere when the team placed a second-round tender on him. He set career-best totals in terms of catches (44) and yards (629) in 2020. Pascal will return as an important part of the Colts passing game in 2021. Let's see what kind of chemistry he can build with Carson Wentz. Let's also see if second-year pro Michael Pittman can break out this year and push Pascal down in the pecking order. |

Colts | T.Y. Hilton coming back to Indy Wed Mar 24, 02:56 PM
Free-agent WR T.Y. Hilton (Colts) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $10 million - including $8 million guaranteed - to remain with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, March 24.
| Footballguys view: The market for Hilton did not develop as some thought it would so he stays with the Colts for a good price. The team had been public about their interest in retaining Hilton and they were able to get the deal done. Hilton, Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell, and Zach Pascal make up the top wide receivers for new QB Carson Wentz. We see Hilton as a WR3 with upside for Fantasy GMs in 2021. |
