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.

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.

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.

Analysis
