Colts’ unofficial depth chart for Week 6

The Indianapolis Colts (2-2-1) released their unofficial depth chart Tuesday ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) in Week 6.

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 6 matchup against the Jaguars:

Offense

Pos.	First	Second	Third
QB	Matt Ryan	Nick Foles	Sam Ehlinger
RB	Jonathan Taylor	Nyheim Hines	Deon Jackson
WR	Michael Pittman Jr.
WR	Alec Pierce	Mike Strachan
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

• WR Ashton Dulin was placed on the injured reserve list due to a foot injury. The Colts currently have four wide receivers on the active roster.
• Matt Pryor is still listed as the starting left tackle despite moving to right tackle in Week 5, which also pushed Braden Smith to right guard. It isn’t clear what the starting offensive line will look like in Week 6.
• Rookie Bernhard Raimann is still listed as the backup left tackle but appears to be getting his shot to earn the starting role after making his first career start in Week 5.

Defense

Pos.	First	Second	Third	Fourth
DE	Kwity Paye	Tyquan Lewis	Dayo Odeyingbo
DT (3T)	DeForest Buckner	Byron Cowart	Chris Williams
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 Sr.
FS	Julian Blackmon	Rodney Thomas II
SS	Rodney McLeod	Nick Cross

Analysis

• DT Chris Williams was signed from the practice squad Tuesday.
• Veteran S Rodney McLeod is officially listed as the starting safety over rookie Nick Cross, who hasn’t played more than one defensive snap since Week 2.
• CB Brandon Facyson is still listed higher on the depth chart than Isaiah Rodgers Sr., but the latter has seen more snaps played over the last two weeks.
• DT Dayo Odeyingbo saw an uptick in snaps during the Week 5 win when Tyquan Lewis was inactive due to a concussion.

Special Teams

Pos.	First	Second
P	Matt Haack
K	Chase McLaughlin
H	Matt Haack
LS	Luke Rhodes
KR	Isaiah Rodgers Sr.
PR	Nyheim Hines

Analysis

• After maxing out his three standard elevations from the practice squad, Chase McLaughlin was signed to the active roster before the Week 5 win.
• McLaughlin then went on to earn the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award for his efforts against the Broncos.
• With Ashton Dulin on the injured reserve list, it will be interesting to see who takes the backup kick return duties.
