Exactly how the 2020 schedule plays out is another matter. In the face of COVID-19, many questions remain.
Will the season be delayed and will fans be allowed in the stadium? There is much for the NFL to decide in the coming weeks.
Fans will see many familiar faces on the 2020 Colts, and some significant additions.
Philip Rivers, after spending his entire 16-year pro career with the Chargers, figures to be the starting quarterback for Indianapolis.
New additions also include defense end DeForest Buckner, and draft choices Michael Pittman at receiver and running back Jonathan Taylor.
