The Indianapolis Colts will finalize their initial 53-man roster by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, which means they will need to move 27 players off of the active roster.
Basing this off of our 53-man roster projection, here is our prediction of the final roster cuts for the Colts:
1
QB Jack Coan

Coan was waived Monday afternoon, which was part of our 53-man prediction.

S Armani Watts

Watts will likely be moved to the injured reserve list as a part of the roster moves. That would officially end his season.

P Rigoberto Sanchez

This is tricky because if the Colts feel Sanchez could come back late in the season—a big if—they might wait until after Sept. 1 to put Sanchez on the injured reserve list. That would deem him eligible to return. But if he’s put on the injured reserve list as a part of these roster moves Tuesday, he won’t be able to return this season. We also should make it clear that Sanchez isn’t getting cut. It’s simply a matter of when the Colts put him on the injured reserve list. In this scenario, because a torn Achilles is typically a six-month recovery, we’re predicting he misses the season.
