  "account": "According to Jake Arthur of Colts Wire, the Indianapolis Colts conducted workouts for several offensive linemen on Monday in response to injuries on the offensive line. Among the players scrutinized were Will Hernandez, D Ante Smith, and Trey Wedig. Arthur also noted that tackles Luke Tenuta and Nolan Rucci are facing injury challenges. Tenuta is the primary bench option for the Colts' tackles, while Rucci, a free agent, is vying for a roster position. Currently, Blake Freeland and Bayron Matos are the top contenders for these spots. The Colts' injury concerns are compounded by the addition of Keenan Allen, a second-round pick from 2018, who has played extensively (104 games, 98 starts) at both guard positions. Smith, a fourth-rounder from 2021, has only logged 77 offensive snaps, while Wedig, undrafted in 2025, did not see any regular-season action as a rookie. As of now, no new signings have been reported.",
