Indianapolis Colts inactive list for Week 1 game against the Houston Texans
The Indianapolis Colts will be looking to avenge their heartbreaking season-ending loss against the Houston Texans last year, which kept the Colts out of the playoffs. Anthony Richardson was out for the season, which ended with a 9-8 record and the Houston Texans champions of the AFC South. For 2024, the Texans are again presumed to be the frontrunner to win the AFC South again, while the Colts are not only looking to upset that narrative, but to break the NFL's longest opening-game winless streak.
Given the pressure to win, the Colts will need as many of their best players on the field as possible. Unfortunately, some of their key players are on the inactives list for this high-stakes game.
