INDIANAPOLIS – On Monday, Robert Mathis returned to the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Mathis would continue to call the Colts complex home through the 2016 season.
The Colts extended Mathis' contract an additional year, through the 2016 season, which will be his 14th in the NFL (all in Indianapolis).
