  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Notches 142 stops in 2024

    Speed tallied 142 total tackles (93 solo) and five passes defended, including one interception, across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

    The Tarleton State product had the most productive season of his career in 2024, setting new career highs in total tackles and passes defended while also nabbing the first interception of his career. Despite finishing the season as Indianapolis' third-leading tackler, Speed recorded the 12th-most stops in the NFL. Coming off a career year, Speed is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year. He's expected to be a sought-after player, likely signing a multi-year deal with a team in need of inside-linebacker help this offseason.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Good to go against Giants

    Speed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Speed didn't play in Week 16 against the Titans due to a knee injury. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he managed to log a full practice Friday, which was enough for him to be cleared to play Sunday. Speed will start at linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin and Jaylon Carlies, while Segun Olubi, Cameron McGrone and Grant Stuard provide rotational depth.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Questionable to face G-Men

    Speed (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    After a pair of DNPs to start the week, Speed was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice. He missed Week 16 with the injury but appears to have a chance to play Sunday. Jaylon Carlies filled in as an every-down linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin in Speed's absence last week.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Out against Tennessee

    Speed (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Speed will miss his second game of the season as the Colts take on the Titans at home. The sixth-year linebacker missed Week 7 against the Dolphins with a knee problem, and this very likely could be related to that injury. His next chance to see the field will be Week 17 versus the Giants.

  • Colts' E.J. Speed: Has nice day in win

    Speed recorded nine tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-24 win at New England.

    Speed tallied nine-plus tackles for the fifth time in his last six contests in Week 13, and his pass breakup prevented a big gain on the Patriots' final drive of the game. He projects as a good IDP option for the fantasy playoffs after the Colts' bye in Week 14.
