The reference to a stage is likely Irsay’s scheduled appearance this week in Los Angeles with his Jim Irsay Band in conjunction with his traveling collection of memorabilia.

The Colts said they would provide no additional information at this time and asked that Irsay’s privacy be respected as he recovers.

The team recently closed its 2023 campaign with a Week 18 loss to the Texans. Had Indianapolis won that game, it would’ve clinched a playoff berth.

The Colts hired Shane Steichen to take over for Frank Reich during the offseason, then selected Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to kickstart what was supposed to be a rebuild but it turned into a good season.
