Wyld Stallyns Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Tuesday is the day that teams must get down to 53. After cuts comes waivers and then the practice squad on Wednesday QB Locks: Wentz and Eason Bubble: Ehlinger and Hundley If Wentz isn’t able to go right away Ehlinger could be kept on to backup Eason but he did suffer a knee injury Fri night that Reich is on record as saying doesn’t look good. It’s possible the Colts could cut Hundley and keep Ehlinger to put him on IR and then resign Hundley immediately afterwards. Cut: Huntley HB Locks: Taylor, Hines and Mack Bubble: Wilkins, LeMay, Jackson If we’re carrying 4 then Wilkins might be the guy but LeMay and Jackson both have had strong games to make their case for the 53 or practice squad. Cut: LeMay and Jackson WR Locks: Hilton, Pittman, Pascal and Campbell Most Likely: Strachan and Dulin Bubble: Harris, Patmon, Black and Vaughns IR: Nelson and Davis Strachan has been phenomenal in camp and won’t likely clear waivers, Dulin is a special teams gunner and will likely make it on that. Harris and Patmon both could clear waivers or be traded to a team looking for their skills. Black and Vaughns are likely practice squad or waiver claims Cut: Harris, Black and Vaughns TE Locks: Doyle, Alie-Cox and Granson Bubble: Green, Thomas and Vollert IR: Noah Togiai The only real debate here is if we carry 4 TEs, Green has looked ok but not great so he isn’t likely to make the 53 but could spend another year on PS. Cut: Green (Thomas and Vollert were waived/injured and could revert to IR) OL Locks (starters): Fisher, Nelson, Kelly, Glowinski and Smith Locks (backups): Davenport, Pinter, Reed Bubble: Hunt, Holden, Eldrenkamp, Fries O’Donnel IR: Tevi Davenport has played the best of the LT options ( @ET80 will be laughing at us for this) Tevi and Holden were turnstiles. Pinter and Tevi are hurt though not sure to what extent. Traded for Matt Pryor Cut: Hunt, Holden, Eldrenkamp and O’Donnell DL: Locks (starters): Lewis, Buckner, Stewart and Paye Locks (backups): Muhammed, Turay, Woods, and Banogu Bubble: Stallworth, Brown, Williams, Kline, Rochell IR: Windsor NFI: Odeyingbo Ballard and Eberflus want “8 starters” so they’re likely to carry 10 or 11 guys on the DL. Guys like Stallworth, Brown and Rochell could be competing for the same spot and Williams would have to beat out former 2nd round picks in order to make the team. Cut: Brown, Kline (waived/injured) LB Locks: Leonard, Okereke, Franklin and Adams Likely to make it: Glasgow and Speed Bubble: Jefferson, Bolton, Kaufusi Leoanrd and Okereke are going to see a majority of the snaps on defense which means most of the remaining guys are going to earn their spot on special teams especially Franklin, Glasgow and Adams but Franklin could be that 3rd guy who checks in in certain spots. We carried 7 LBers at the start of the season last year which could mean the 3 bubble guys are fighting for one spot and that’s if they can play special team Cut: Jefferson, Bolton and Kaufusi CB Locks: Rhodes, Moore, Carrie and Ya-Sin Likely to make it: Tell and Rodgers Bubble: Chelsey and Hill IR: Nelson I put Ya-Sin on the locks list because the only way he doesn’t make the team is if he gets traded. Andre Chachere is listed as a S but has also been listed as a CB but has had a fantastic preseason and could play a safety/slot role with the team Cut: Chelsey and Hill S Locks: Willis, Blackmon, Odum and Chachere Bubble: Sh. Davis, Se. Davis and Campbell The players on the bubble list are dependent on how many safeties we carry Cut: Se. Davis, Sh. Davis and Campbell K - Blankenship P - Sanchez LS - Rhodes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Warhorse said: Does TY's temporary absence allow the Colts to keep an extra RB or WR/TE? They have to keep him active for the cut down to 53, then they can place him on temporary IR (must stay on for a min. of 3 weeks). BUT, the 4 players put on the Covid list (Wentz, Pascal, Kelly and Fisher) are inactive so they won’t count against the 53. So that is 4 roster spots we don’t have to account for. Wentz, Kelly and Pascal all are close contacts so they can return to practice by Thursday as long as they are a symptomatic and test negative everyday. That helps because when we put Hilton, Ehlinger and other players on IR after the cut down we can then activate those 3-4 That also means we will probably have to keep Brett Hundley on the final 53 in case there are any setbacks for Wentz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 With Tevi on IR, and cutting Will Holden we only have Davenport and Smith at T, with a couple guys who are G/T types (Carter O’Donnel and Will Fries) Fisher coming back sooner then later?

Not that I expected him to make the 53 with JT, Mack, Hines and Wilkins. Hopefully he gets picked up by a team or signed to the practice squad.
