Colts leading rusher from 2023 headed to Cincinnati
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts lost a second starter to free agency Monday night.
Running back Zack Moss is heading to the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN reports. The Bengals offered him a two-year, $8 million deal that includes $4.525 million in the first year.
This news came just minutes before the Bengals reportedly released longtime running back Joe Mixon — who finished his seventh season in Cincy with 257 carries and 52 receptions for 1,410 total yards and 12 total touchdowns.
The Bengals get Moss after a career-best season in Indy. Moss led the Colts backfield with 794 yards and five touchdowns, besting an injured Jonathan Taylor by 53 yards for the top spot. Moss also caught 27 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns.
Moss put himself on the map coming in for Taylor during his surgery rehab and then proved his worth as a starting back. Even after the return of Taylor, Moss split carries with the Pro Bowler, providing a strong one-two punch behind quarterback Gardner Minshew.
A former third round pick from Utah, Moss began his four-year NFL career in Buffalo, where he played two-and-a-half years before coming to Indianapolis in the middle of the 2022 season.
Moss’ move to Cincinnati is the second free agent the Colts lost on the first day of the “legal tampering” period. Earlier Monday, Minshew agreed to a two-year, $25 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders — $15 million of that in guaranteed money. Minshew is expected to compete with former Purdue quarterback and last year’s fourth round draft pick Aidan O’Connell for the Raiders’ starting job.
Outside of losing two familiar names from head coach Shane Steichen’s debut season, general manager Chris Ballard and his team secured three other starters for the long term. Most notably, receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is set to make at least $70 million over the next three years with the Colts, while linebacker Zaire Franklin and defensive tackle Grover Stewart each will sign their own three-year deals — Franklin’s worth $31.26 million and Stewart’s worth $39 million.
The official start to the new league year is Wednesday at 4 p.m. when these contracts and any other moves the Colts make will become official.

Storms fade with dangerous heat building through midweek | June 27, 2026
TODAY
Patchy fog early gives way to a partly sunny, warmer, and much less active day. Highs reach the mid to upper 80s, with a light south breeze around 5 mph. After the unsettled Saturday, this looks like a far more usable day for outdoor plans, with most of central Indiana staying dry from start to finish.
TONIGHT
Mostly clear early, then becoming partly to mostly cloudy toward daybreak. Lows hold in the low 70s, with a light south southeast breeze around 5 mph. Humidity stays elevated overnight, but quiet weather continues and there are no meaningful travel concerns.
TOMORROW
Mostly sunny and hot with highs pushing into the low 90s. A south southwest breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the air moving, but the bigger story is the heat and humidity building in. Heat index values around or above 100 are possible during the afternoon, so outdoor plans will need extra water and more breaks.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Mostly clear and warm, with lows around the mid 70s and a light south southwest breeze. There will be very little cooling after sunset, and the muggy feel hangs on through the night. Dry weather remains in place.
TUESDAY
Sunny and even hotter, with highs in the low to mid 90s and a light southwest breeze around 5 mph. This is another day where heat becomes the main impact, and it will not take long to feel it during the afternoon. Outdoor work and summer activities will need to be paced carefully.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Clear and warm again, with lows in the mid 70s and a light southwest wind. The air remains sticky overnight, and there is still no meaningful rain signal for Indianapolis.
WEDNESDAY
Mostly sunny and hot, with highs in the low to mid 90s. Wind stays light, becoming south southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Heat remains the main concern, and another uncomfortable summer afternoon is expected across central Indiana.
7 DAY FORECAST
After Saturday’s leftover storm chances fade away, the pattern flips quickly toward heat and humidity. Sunday looks quieter and warmer, then Monday through at least Wednesday trend hot with highs in the 90s and heat index values over 100 possible at times. Rain chances stay very low through midweek, with the next better opportunity for showers and storms showing up later Thursday into Friday. Overall, the bigger concern after tonight becomes summer heat rather than repeated storm chances.
