Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon stated she is open to contract extensions for running back Jonathan Taylor and guard Quenton Nelson during training camp on July 31, 2026. Taylor, a three-time Pro Bowler, is looking to secure a long-term deal with the Colts and has been practicing despite other players opting out for negotiations. Irsay-Gordon praised Taylor for his leadership and performance, noting his impressive stats of 7,598 rushing yards and 76 total touchdowns in six seasons. General manager Chris Ballard also expressed the desire to retain both players amidst the team's critical season.
