Both sustained season-ending injuries during the 2025 preseason

Colts players arrived Monday at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center for the beginning of the team's 2026 voluntary offseason program.

Walley and Wohler each sustained their respective injuries during the 2025 preseason, but both expect to be fully healthy for 2026.

Anthony Richardson exited the Colts' preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens after just seven snaps with a dislocated pinkie, giving way to Daniel Jones, who played 31 snaps to finish the first half. The story of the game outside of the Colts' quarterbacks, though, was an impressive preseason debut for rookie first-round tight end Tyler Warren.

Wohler, who played at Wisconsin for four years, has experience playing safety and linebacker.

Wohler totaled 191 tackles over his final two seasons at Wisconsin.
