Final Colts roster projection: Who's on. Who's off. Who's the kicker?
The Colts will cut their roster to 53 players by 6 p.m. Sunday. Here's Joel A. Erickson's projection for those players
The Indianapolis Colts are projected to keep all three quarterbacks, Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Riley Leonard, with a potential trade offer for Richardson being considered. At the running back position, Jonathan Taylor is expected to be a starter, with Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens vying for the second spot. The Colts may also bring in DJ Bentley, who played on the practice squad last season.
In the wide receiver category, Alec Pierce, Keenan Allen, Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin, Laquon Treadwell, and Deion Burks are all expected to make the roster. Allen's late signing has simplified the decision-making process, but Burks' speed makes him a potential special teams contributor. The tight end position will be determined by injuries and playing time, with Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, and Will Mallory all being considered.
Lastly, the offensive line will likely consist of 10 players, with Bernhard Raimann, Quenton Nelson, Tanor Bortolini, Matt Goncalves, Jalen Travis, Jalen Farmer, Dalton Tucker, Blake Freeland, and Luke Tenuta being the main candidates.
