The Colts have a set of incentive paths waiting for Keenan Allen, and the numbers get bigger fast if Indianapolis reaches the playoffs.
According to Spotrac, Allen can pick up $1 million if he gets to 82 receptions. If the Colts make the postseason, he has another tiered set of bonuses tied to catches: $500,000 at 60, $750,000 at 70 and $1 million at 80.
The incentives do not stop there. Spotrac says Allen can earn another $500,000 with 800 receiving yards, $750,000 with 900 and $1 million if he reaches 1,000. He can also add $500,000 with five receiving touchdowns, $750,000 with six and $1 million with seven.
Indianapolis may also be getting some help back on the field this week. Stephen Holder reported that Colts head coach Shane Steichen said the expectation is for wide receiver Alec Pierce to return from his ankle injury if everything goes according to plan. Holder also noted that cornerback Charvarius Ward, who is dealing with a back issue, is set to practice Tuesday.
In Jacksonville, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen gave a reassuring update on Brian Thomas Jr. after the receiver left practice early with a left shoulder injury. Coen said, “I think it’s all right.
Just came down on his shoulder. Holding him out was smart, keep him out and then get him go for Cleveland.”
The Titans, meanwhile, are hearing plenty of praise for rookie running back Nick Singleton, a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft who is entering his first season.
Tennessee running backs coach Randy Jordan said Singleton has already shown he fits what the team wants to build. “Personality-wise, he fits the culture that we are trying to build around here,” Jordan said, via Jim Wyatt of the team’s site.
“He is all about work, all about football. He has a very serious demeanor.
In terms of what I’ve seen athletically, he has the ability to find green grass. He’s a patient runner, and it’s almost like he has a rocket on his back when he hits it.
Downhill, physical presence. I am excited to see what he can do when you actually have to tackle him.”
Quarterback Cam Ward echoed that assessment, calling Singleton explosive and stressing his vision. “He is real explosive,” Ward said.
“He is a patient runner, he sees the gap and he hits it hard, and he’s a great teammate. He’s not a rah-rah guy, but every time he steps on the field, he has the right mindset.
He is capable of being a great player for us. He is getting way better at the protection scheme of the pass game.
When his number is called, he is going to be sure to do what he does.”
Jordan went even further, saying Singleton is one of the most serious players he’s coached. “He’s probably one of the most serious guys I’ve coached, beside Adrian Peterson,” Jordan said.
“He’s all about going to work. … I think he has the potential to be good, and he’s putting in the work to be good.
I always tell those guys you are only as good as your last practice, and putting one foot in front of the other. If he continues to have that attitude, and continues to grow, there is no reason why he shouldn’t be a good player in this league.”

Jaguars Defense Just Got The Kind Of National Respect Fans Wanted
For a Jaguars defense that has spent plenty of time trying to prove it belongs in the leagues upper tier, ESPNs Mike Clay offering this kind of preseason respect is a notable development. Clay ranked Jacksonvilles edge rushers fifth heading into the 2026 NFL season, putting Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker among the best front-line duos in football and giving the unit a national spotlight that has not always followed the Jaguars around.
The praise did not stop there, either. Clay also placed Jacksonvilles cornerback group inside the top 10, with Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis, Montaric Brown and Jarrian Jones all part of the conversation, while the linebacker room landed just outside that range at No. 11. For a team that wants its defense to set the tone, the broader question now is whether this recognition turns into something even more meaningful once the season gets going. [Read more 🡒]
Jaguars Face A Real Debate After ESPN's 2026 Warning
Bill Barnwells warning landed with a familiar sting for Jacksonville: the Jaguars were among the NFL teams he flagged as most likely to take a step back in 2026. The concern is rooted less in any one weakness than in how the 2025 season came together, with a string of close wins, a turnover margin that helped paper over some mistakes and a fumble recovery rate that may be hard to repeat. Even the late-season schedule break looked like part of the formula, which is usually a shaky foundation when a team is trying to prove it belongs in the leagues upper tier.
Still, this is not the profile of a team staring at a complete reset. The coaching setup remains intact, and there were real signs last season that the Jaguars were building better chemistry and getting healthier as the year went on. That is what makes the debate so interesting in Jacksonville right now: the warning signs are obvious enough to take seriously, but so are the reasons to believe the team has enough continuity to avoid a downturn.

Jaguars Joint Practice Just Clarified A Key Travis Hunter Debate
A joint practice with the Buccaneers gave the Jaguars a clearer look at how they want to deploy Travis Hunter, and the early answer leaned heavily toward cornerback. Hunter spent most of his work on defense, a notable clue in a camp where Jacksonville is also trying to settle other key jobs, including rookie guard Emmanuel Pregnon locking down the left guard spot as the team keeps building continuity up front.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. also picked up plenty of work, especially in passing situations, while LeQuint Allen was out with an injury, adding another layer to the Jaguars backfield picture. But the biggest takeaway from the day was how much emphasis Jacksonville placed on its defensive backfield and offensive line, two areas where the Jaguars are still trying to sharpen chemistry before the season begins.
