Colts’ unofficial depth chart for Week 3
The Indianapolis Colts (0-1-1) released their unofficial Week 3 depth chart Tuesday following the disastrous 24-0 blowout loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1).
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 3 matchup against the Chiefs
Offense
Pos. | First | Second | Third |
QB | Matt Ryan | Nick Foles | Sam Ehlinger |
RB | Jonathan Taylor | Nyheim Hines | Deon Jackson |
WR | Michael Pittman Jr. | Ashton Dulin | |
WR | Alec Pierce | Mike Strachan | Dezmon Patmon |
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
No changes from Week 2.
As it currently stands, Matt Pryor is still the left tackle over rookie Bernhard Raimann. But after a poor start to the season for the veteran, a switch may be coming soon.
TEs Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson are still listed as co-starters, but the latter has out-snapped and out-produced Alie-Cox through the first two weeks.
Defense
Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
DE | Kwity Paye | Tyquan Lewis | Dayo Odeyingbo | |
DT (3T) | DeForest Buckner | Byron Cowart | ||
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 | ||
FS | Julian Blackmon | Rodney Thomas II | ||
SS | Nick Cross | Rodney McLeod |
Analysis
No changes from Week 2.
The rotation on the defensive line remained the same in Week 2. It was the starting four and Tyquan Lewis who took the majority of snaps.
DL Dayo Odeyingbo did see a slight increase in snaps but not nearly enough to make a true impact on the game.
CB Isaiah Rodgers still has not logged a defensive snap this season.
Rookie S Nick Cross saw a decrease in snaps to 65% in Week 2 but still remains the starter.
Special Teams
Pos. | First | Second |
P | Matt Haack | |
K | N/A | |
H | Matt Haack | |
LS | Luke Rhodes | |
KR | Isaiah Rodgers | Ashton Dulin |
PR | Nyheim Hines |
Analysis
No changes from Week 2.
Though he remains on the practice squad, for now, Chase McLaughlin will be the kicker until further notice. The team released Lucas Havrisik from the practice squad Tuesday.
