Colts’ unofficial depth chart for Week 6
The Indianapolis Colts (2-2-1) released their unofficial depth chart Tuesday ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) in Week 6.
The term “unofficial” should be taken to heart here as the pecking order could change on a whim. Most of it will remain unchanged unless roster moves are made, but we’ll be here to keep track every week.
Here’s a look at the unofficial depth chart going into the Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars:
Offense
Pos. | First | Second | Third |
QB | Matt Ryan | Nick Foles | Sam Ehlinger |
RB | Jonathan Taylor | Nyheim Hines | Deon Jackson |
WR | Michael Pittman Jr. | ||
WR | Alec Pierce | Mike Strachan | |
WR | Parris Campbell | ||
TE | Mo Alie-Cox | ||
TE | Kylen Granson | Jelani Woods | |
LT | Matt Pryor | Bernhard Raimann | |
LG | Quenton Nelson | ||
C | Ryan Kelly | Wesley French | |
RG | Danny Pinter | Will Fries | |
RT | Braden Smith | Dennis Kelly | Luke Tenuta |
Analysis
WR Ashton Dulin was placed on the injured reserve list due to a foot injury. The Colts currently have four wide receivers on the active roster.
Matt Pryor is still listed as the starting left tackle despite moving to right tackle in Week 5, which also pushed Braden Smith to right guard. It isn’t clear what the starting offensive line will look like in Week 6.
Rookie Bernhard Raimann is still listed as the backup left tackle but appears to be getting his shot to earn the starting role after making his first career start in Week 5.
Defense
Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
DE | Kwity Paye | Tyquan Lewis | Dayo Odeyingbo | |
DT (3T) | DeForest Buckner | Byron Cowart | Chris Williams | |
DT (1T) | Grover Stewart | Eric Johnson II | ||
DE | Yannick Ngakoue | Ifeadi Odenigbo | Ben Banogu | |
WILL | Bobby Okereke | E.J. Speed | Grant Stuard | |
MIKE | Shaquille Leonard | |||
SAM | Zaire Franklin | JoJo Domann | ||
CB | Brandon Facyson | Dallis Flowers | ||
Slot | Kenny Moore | Tony Brown | ||
CB | Stephon Gilmore | Isaiah Rodgers Sr. | ||
FS | Julian Blackmon | Rodney Thomas II | ||
SS | Rodney McLeod | Nick Cross |
Analysis
DT Chris Williams was signed from the practice squad Tuesday.
Veteran S Rodney McLeod is officially listed as the starting safety over rookie Nick Cross, who hasn’t played more than one defensive snap since Week 2.
CB Brandon Facyson is still listed higher on the depth chart than Isaiah Rodgers Sr., but the latter has seen more snaps played over the last two weeks.
DT Dayo Odeyingbo saw an uptick in snaps during the Week 5 win when Tyquan Lewis was inactive due to a concussion.
Special Teams
Pos. | First | Second |
P | Matt Haack | |
K | Chase McLaughlin | |
H | Matt Haack | |
LS | Luke Rhodes | |
KR | Isaiah Rodgers Sr. | |
PR | Nyheim Hines |
Analysis
After maxing out his three standard elevations from the practice squad, Chase McLaughlin was signed to the active roster before the Week 5 win.
McLaughlin then went on to earn the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award for his efforts against the Broncos.
With Ashton Dulin on the injured reserve list, it will be interesting to see who takes the backup kick return duties.
