3 questions facing Colts entering Week 2 of preseason

Three major questions loom over the Indianapolis Colts as they prepare for Week 2 of the preseason. First, can their pass rush depth withstand the test of another tough matchup? Arden Key is set to start alongside Laiatu Latu, though neither played in the preseason opener. Jaylahn Tuimoloau and Micheal Clemons, the next two contenders, had limited success against the Patriots' backup offensive line, generating only one pressure together.

Rookie Caden Curry showed promise in limited time and could see more opportunities soon. Second, the cornerback depth may have been worse than initially thought. Johnathan Edwards was easily targeted and connected for a touchdown, while Mekhi Blackmon was penalized twice despite few targets. Cam Taylor-Britt, who can play both inside and out, faced only a modest 13 coverage snaps.

Finally, the competition for the starting quarterback role remains unclear. Initially, Shane Steichen suggested the battle was closely contested, but Riley Leonard's strong performance in practice might have shifted the dynamic. Leonard is slated to start against the Falcons next, while Trevor Lawrence will likely take on the role of the backup.
