It is way too early in the preseason to get a good gauge on where the Colts regular season roster will end up. Still, after watching much of training camp and the first pre-season game, some players stick out as leading competitions for roster spots at each position.
Using the final roster from last season as a guideline, along with the Colts history handling draft picks and summer injuries, the following roster contains 55 players. Two of the players will not count against the 53 player roster limit as they enter the season on the “reserve physically unable to perform list.” Players on this list can start practicing at the conclusion of week six games, and will need to either be activated to the roster or placed on injured reserve by week 10 of the regular season.
