Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay (illness) is being treated for a severe respiratory illness, according to the team. "While this unfortunately means he won't be able to perform with his band this week in Los Angeles, he is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible," the Colts said in a statement. "We'll have no additional information at this time and we ask that you respect the privacy of Jim and his family as he recovers." The 64-year-old has owned the Colts since 1997 and has faced several health challenges over the years, in part due to previous bouts with alcohol and drug addiction. Under first-year head coach Shane Steichen in 2023, the Colts finished just short of the playoffs at 9-8 after going 4-12-1 in 2022.
