Dolphins player to watch
RB Raheem Mostert. The former Purdue star had 80 yards on 19 carries against the Patriots after missing the previous three games with a chest injury. If De’Von Achane, who went into the concussion protocol in the first quarter against New England, can’t play, Mostert will likely get most of the carries.
Colts player to watch
QB Anthony Richardson. Coach Shane Steichen expects his franchise quarterback to return this week after missing the past two games with an injured right hip. Richardson gives opposing defenses another potential problem with his running ability. But how healthy is Richardson? And how long will he stick around after playing only eight games in two seasons?
Key matchup
Dolphins defensive line vs. Colts offensive line. Miami’s pass defense and overall defense rank among the NFL’s top units. One glaring flaw: Sacks. Only three teams have fewer sacks than the Dolphins (nine) and in their base 3-4 front, the defensive ends have not had one. If the Colts don’t have Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly, they’ll be starting two rookies — fourth-round pick Tanor Bortolini at center and right guard Dalton Tucker, who was undrafted.
Key injuries
The bye week has helped Miami get healthier — even though Tagovailoa remains on injured reserve. Achane was a full participant in Wednesday’s workout, an indication he could be cleared to play soon. Starting safety Jevon Holland said he’s “day to day” because of a broken bone in his hand and he could potentially play with a cast on it. … If Richardson has any unforeseen issues, 39-year-old Joe Flacco will get the call. Flacco, the Super Bowl 47 MVP, has been solid in all three appearances with Indy this season, winning twice. … Jonathan Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ, will miss his third straight game with a sprained ankle. … Kelly was a full participant in Friday’s light workout and appeared on track to play. … Six players were listed as questionable: WRs Michael Pittman Jr. (back), Alec Pierce (shoulder) and Josh Downs (toe); DE Dayo Odeyingbo (hamstring); RT Braden Smith (knee); and LB E.J. Speed (knee).
Series notes
Indianapolis has won three of the past four in this series. … The Dolphins dominated this matchup from 1977-1987, winning 18 of 19 games, including 11 straight in a then-AFC East series. The Colts finally ended their long skid with a 40-21 victory at Miami in November 1987. … Miami won both playoff matchups between these franchises, but the Colts are 1-1 in Super Bowls played on the Dolphins home field — beating the Bears in Super Bowl 41 and losing to New Orleans three years later. … Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning made his NFL regular-season debut against the Dan Marino-led Dolphins on Sept. 6, 1998. Miami won 24-15 on a day Manning threw the first of his 539 TD passes and three interceptions.
Stats and stuff
The Dolphins had a bye last week and are 2-0 in post-bye week games under coach Mike McDaniel. … Miami needs two more wins to become the 19th franchise with 500 wins. … The Dolphins have scored only 30 total points since Tagovailoa went down. … Miami has a league-best 14 plays of 50 or more yards since the start of the 2023 season but is averaging a league-low 12 points per game this year. … Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa as the starter in Week 3. QB Tyler Huntley started the past two games for his hometown team. … The Dolphins had a season-high 41 carries in Week 5 led by rookie Jaylen Wright who had a career-best 86 yards in a win over the Patriots. … Former Purdue star Raheem Mostert returned in Week 5 after missing three games with a chest injury. … WR Odell Beckham Jr. has 214 yards receiving against Indy. He made his Dolphins debut against New England. … Miami’s defense has allowed a third down conversion rate of 25.5%, the stingiest rate in the NFL. … The Dolphins have pitched shutouts in eight of the 20 quarters they’ve played this season. … Miami K Jason Sanders has made a franchise-record 82.8% of his field goals in seven seasons. … Indy has won three of its past four and two straight at home, but the Dolphins won the most recent matchup in Indianapolis, 16-12 in November 2019. … The Colts have the league’s highest conversion rate on third-and-10 or more yards (35.0%). … Indy has allowed only 10 sacks through six games. … Richardson is 4-4 in eight career starts and has only finished four games he started. … Flacco has thrown three TD passes in the fourth quarter the past two weeks. … Pittman played through his back injury last week and caught the winning TD pass at Tennessee. He needs 65 yards to become the fifth receiver in team history with 4,000 yards in five or fewer seasons. … LB Zaire Franklin has the most tackles (405) and most double-digit tackle games (24) since 2022. … Indy’s defense is tied for third in the NFL with two red zone takeaways this season and leads the NFL with 282 solo tackles since 2024. … The Colts are allowing an average of 25.2 points over their past four games.
Fantasy tip
Dolphins defense. With so many injury questions, the safest play appears to be taking a Miami defense that has held up — with or without Tagovailoa.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Mild temperatures are expected Monday, with severe storms possible mid-week.
Flooding threat continues:
Rivers remain elevated across southern portions of central Indiana, where widespread minor to moderate river flooding continues south of Interstate 70. This is likely to persist well into the end of the week, with renewed rain chances moving in Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday.
Today:
High pressure will keep us quiet across much of the state, with mostly sunny skies. Expect high temperatures to reach the low 70s, which could tie or push very close to the old record in Indianapolis (72° set in 1878).
Tuesday:
Temperatures will be even warmer heading into Tuesday with a strong southerly wind. Highs will reach the mid-70s. The record high for that Tuesday is 74°, set back in 2009.
Strong storms Tuesday/Wednesday:
A cold front will move through the state and trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms late Tuesday night into the overnight hours.
Some isolated strong storms will be possible late Tuesday night. Much of the state is under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms, with all modes of severe weather in play.
Heavy rain Wednesday:
A second round of showers and thunderstorms will move through on Wednesday. While some damaging wind gusts could occur, the primary concern will be heavy rain and the ongoing flooding risk. Much of the state could see anywhere from a half inch to an inch and a half of rain, with some locally higher amounts that will worsen river flooding in the southern half of the state.
7 day forecast:
Sharply colder temperatures will move in for Thursday, as highs fail to get out of the 40s. We should see a nice bump in temperatures by Friday and through the weekend, with highs in the mid to upper 50s for Friday and Saturday, and potentially near 60° on Sunday.
The end of the weekend looks soggy, with the potential for a significant cooldown in the wake of our Sunday system early next week.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The National Waste & Recycling Foundation and the National Waste & Recycling Association launched a national public service campaign in January 2026 aimed at reducing battery-related fires in the waste and recycling industry.
The initiative, titled “Skip the Bin – Turn Your Batteries In!,” encourages residents to properly dispose of lithium-ion batteries and is designed to protect sanitation workers, waste facilities and surrounding communities.
The campaign follows a surge in fires linked to discarded batteries. Industry officials reported more than 1,000 battery-related fires nationwide in 2025 at locations including collection trucks, transfer stations, recycling facilities and landfills.
The effort comes as Indiana emerges as one of the fastest-growing manufacturing states for electric vehicle batteries.
Michael E. Hoffman, president of the National Waste & Recycling Foundation and CEO of the National Waste & Recycling Association, said many households now contain numerous lithium-ion batteries but residents often lack information about how to safely discard them.
“There were over a thousand fires in 2025,” Hoffman said. “There’s basically one every single day in every state in just the waste and recycling infrastructure, whether it’s collection, transfer, the recycling facility, or at the landfill, or a waste energy plant. We have a fire every day.”
The campaign warns that lithium-ion batteries operate through chemical reactions rather than simple electrical storage. When damaged or improperly handled, they can undergo thermal runaway — a rapid reaction that can cause temperatures to rise to several thousand degrees Fahrenheit within milliseconds. These fires cannot be extinguished with water, creating significant hazards in homes and waste facilities.
The foundation partnered with the U.S. Forest Service to feature the agency’s mascot, Woodsy Owl, in the campaign — one of the character’s most prominent public appearances in about two decades.
Hoffman said the Forest Service joined the initiative because of concerns about campers discarding batteries into campfires in national forests.
“We went to the U.S. Forest Service knowing that Woodsy had been around for almost 54 years at that point,” Hoffman said. “The Forest Service has concerns about fires in the national forest. So they were thrilled with the idea that Woodsy could get behind something like this.”
In addition to fire safety, the campaign highlights the importance of recycling batteries to recover valuable materials. Lithium-ion batteries contain rare earth metals that can be difficult to obtain. Hoffman said about 60% to 70% of these materials can be recovered and reused to manufacture new batteries.
“These are rare earth precious metals, particularly in the lithium-ion batteries,” Hoffman said. “And these are hard to find rare earth metals.”
The campaign’s website, Batterysafetynow.org, includes a ZIP code locator to help residents find nearby drop-off locations. About 20,000 retail sites nationwide participate in the program, including Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Tractor Supply Company and Staples.
“You put your zip code in and there are 20,000 retail locations around the country, one pretty much within 10 miles of most zip codes, not all, but most,” Hoffman said.
The program promotes a three-step disposal process: Prepare, Locate and Deliver. Residents are advised to tape the ends of batteries to prevent contact, place them in a resealable bag or box and bring them to a participating retailer.
Once collected, the Battery Network coordinates transportation to processing depots, where batteries are sorted by chemical composition and prepared for recycling.
Hoffman said the foundation hopes to expand the program by partnering with grocery stores.
“Our next big objective is, can we get the grocery industry to agree to let us do this in grocery stores as well?” Hoffman said. “And then we’re pretty much wrapped around the consumer almost everywhere you might go.”
