Colts offensive-line coach Tony Sparano Jr. told reporters Tuesday that Goncalves (concussion) is expected to start at right guard in 2025, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Goncalves exited the Colts' 2024 season finale with a concussion, but it appears he's moved past the issue. The 2024 third-round pick from Pittsburgh will transition from tackle to guard and is expected to be one of the team's top offensive linemen heading into his second NFL season.

Colts Injury Report
Colts offensive-line coach Tony Sparano Jr. told reporters Tuesday that Goncalves (concussion) is expected to start at right guard in 2025, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Goncalves exited the Colts' 2024 season finale with a concussion, but it appears he's moved past the issue. The 2024 third-round pick from Pittsburgh will transition from tackle to guard and is expected to be one of the team's top offensive linemen heading into his second NFL season.
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that Franklin (ankle) had a clean-up procedure last week, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. The Syracuse product has popped up with an ankle injury and will likely remain out until training camp, per Bowen. Franklin has emerged as one of the NFL's top insider linebackers over the past three seasons, recording a whopping 519 total tackles across his last 50 regular-season contests. While Franklin is sidelined over the next couple of months, expect Liam Anderson to work with Indianapolis' first-team defense.
The Colts signed Owen as an undrafted free agent Friday. Owen will get a chance to prove himself at the pro level coming off the best season of his collegiate career in 2024 at Ohio. Over 14 games with the Bobcats, he brought in 78 receptions for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns, also adding two carries for 26 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Indianapolis has a relatively deep group of pass catchers though, so it would be surprising if Owen made much noise in his rookie season even if he did crack the final roster.
Bachie signed with the Colts on Wednesday, Joel Erickson of the team's official site reports. Bachie has seemingly recovered from the groin injury that landed him on Cincinnati's injured reserve last December and will now head to Indianapolis. The 27-year-old racked up three tackles (three solo) across 12 games during the 2024 campaign as he saw the majority of his playing time on special teams and will likely have a similar role with the Colts.
Ebukam (Achilles) believes he will be cleared for full participation by the start of training camp, the Indianapolis Star reports. Ebukam missed the 2024 season after suffering a torn Achilles' tendon during a July 28 practice. The Colts must believe he'll be able to return as he has a $10.49 million cap hit for 2025 and the team could have saved $6.49 million with his release. Ebukam had 9.5 sacks in 2023, but he'll have a daunting task returning to form coming back from an injury that could limit his explosiveness.
Pittman (back) said Tuesday that he was not required to undergo surgery to address the small fracture in his back he played through in 2024, and that he gained clearance to play in March, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports. Pittman expressed confidence that his rehab work has been sufficient to get past his back injury heading into the 2025 season, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Last year, Pittman reported feelings of pain dating back to training camp but managed to suit up for 16 regular-season games, despite brief consideration of landing on IR when the severity of his injury was revealed Week 3. The 27-year-old wideout also said that he's had the opportunity to work out with new quarterback Daniel Jones already, though his schedule hasn't yet overlapped with Anthony Richardson (back), Boyd reports. The Colts have embraced an open competition between Jones and Richardson to determine the No. 1 role for 2025, foreboding a quarterback picture that won't become clearer until training camp at the earliest. Whether Jones or Richardson wins the starting gig, Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs will be positioned to headline Indianapolis' wide receiver corps.
Alie-Cox re-signed with the Colts on Friday. Alie-Cox will return to Indianapolis for his eighth NFL season, having spent the previous seven with the Colts. His blocking ability has earned Alie-Cox steady playing time in what has been an underwhelming tight-end room in recent years, but he has fallen short of 200 receiving yards in each of the past three regular seasons.
Shrader is the only remaining kicker on Indianapolis' roster following the release of Matt Gay on Thursday. Shrader inked a two-year deal with the Colts mid-March after a tumultuous rookie campaign, in which he appeared in four combined games between Indianapolis, Kansas City and the Jets. He converted all five of his field-goal tries and all nine extra-point attempts across those appearances. Gay, meanwhile, went 31 for 37 on field-goal tries across 16 regular-season appearances with the Colts, with all six misses coming from 50-plus yards out. Indianapolis will doubtless bring in further options to compete with Shrader this offseason, but Gay's release provides him a clear path to securing the No. 1 job.
