The Indianapolis Colts lost a back-and-forth affair on Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium to the Dallas Cowboys, 27-23.
Despite the loss, the team continues to see positive returns on its young core, which has been seeing more and more playing time.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., running back DJ Giddens, and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger were active, but did not play.
Inactive players were tight end Pharaoh Brown, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), safety A.J. Haulcy (ankle), offensive tackle Charlie Heck, quarterback Riley Leonard (emergency QB3), tight end Will Mallory, and cornerback Justin Walley (knee).
Players who were injured during the game and either missed some time or the rest of the game were tight end Mo Alie-Cox (groin), linebacker Jaylon Carlies (neck), right tackle Jalen Travis (knee), and cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr. (cramps).
Here are the Colts' snap counts from offense, defense, and special teams:
OFFENSE
- QB Daniel Jones: 64 (100%)
- LT Bernhard Raimann: 64 (100%)
- LG Jalen Farmer: 64 (100%)
- C Tanor Bortolini: 64 (100%)
- RG Matt Goncalves: 64 (100%)
- TE Tyler Warren: 53 (83%)
- WR Laquon Treadwell: 51 (81%)
- WR Josh Downs: 49 (77%)
- RB Jonathan Taylor: 44 (69%)
- OT Luke Tenuta: 40 (62%)
- WR Keenan Allen: 36 (56%)
- RT Jalen Travis: 26 (41%)
- RB Seth McGowan: 20 (31%)
- TE Drew Ogletree: 18 (28%)
- WR Deion Burks: 17 (27%)
- WR Ashton Dulin: 14 (22%)
- TE Mo Alie-Cox: 14 (22%)
- WR Anthony Gould: 1 (2%)
Taylor has played less than 70% of the offensive snaps for three consecutive weeks despite being healthy. Prior to this stretch, he hadn't played under 70% of the offensive snaps while healthy since December 2024.
While head coach Shane Steichen has defended this as game flow or in support of getting McGowan the ball, the timing is suspicious as Taylor has been the subject of rampant trade speculation.
DEFENSE
- S Cam Bynum: 79 (100%)
- CB Sauce Gardner: 79 (100%)
- LB CJ Allen: 79 (100%)
- S Hunter Wohler: 77 (97%)
- CB Charvarius Ward Sr.: 71 (90%)
- DT Adetomiwa Adebawore: 65 (82%)
- ED Laiatu Latu: 64 (81%)
- ED Jaylahn Tuimoloau: 64 (81%)
- LB Bryce Boettcher: 58 (73%)
- DT Grover Stewart: 47 (59%)
- CB Kenneth Harris: 40 (51%)
- DL Caden Curry: 29 (37%)
- CB Kapena Gushiken: 29 (37%)
- DT Jerry Tillery: 22 (28%)
- LB Austin Ajiake: 15 (19%)
- ED George Gumbs Jr.: 14 (18%)
- DT Tim Smith: 14 (18%)
- LB Jaylon Carlies: 12 (15%)
- DT Kevin Givens: 11 (14%)
Allen continues to play more and more, making his second consecutive start and playing every defensive snap. This is an important development as the Colts' top draft pick grows more comfortable on the field.
Two backups who played extensively and made a strong case for playing time, even when the starters return, are Wohler (filling in for Haulcy) and Boettcher (filling in for Davis-Gaither). All three players were productive, and the combination of Allen and Boettcher at linebacker needs further exploration.
Curry, Gumbs, Gushiken, Harris, and Wohler all played a career high in defensive snaps.
SPECIAL TEAMS

- LB Tahj Chambers: 27 (79%)

Edwards and Washington were elevated to the gameday roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game, and Edwards was tied for the most special-teams snaps, while Washington was ninth. These are two players who could be called up any week and have utility with the team.
