INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts (6-8) on Sunday play host to the Carolina Panthers (5-9) in their 2019 Week 16 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium — and, accordingly, it's time to look at the team's unofficial depth chart for the game.
Here is a position-by-position look for the Panthers matchup, with some notes for each unit:
OFFENSE
— WR: T.Y. Hilton, Marcus Johnson, Dontrelle Inman
— LT: Anthony Castonzo, Le'Raven Clark
— LG: Quenton Nelson, Joe Haeg, Jake Eldrenkamp
— C: Ryan Kelly, Josh Andrews
— RG: Mark Glowinski, Joe Haeg, Jake Eldrenkamp
— RT: Braden Smith, Le'Raven Clark
— TE: Jack Doyle, Ross Travis
— WR: Zach Pascal, Ashton Dulin, Chad Williams
— QB: Jacoby Brissett, Brian Hoyer, Chad Kelly
— TE: Mo Alie-Cox
— RB: Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Jonathan Williams
Notes:
» With Chester Rogers and Adam Vinatieri going on injured reserve, the Colts had two spots to fill on their 53-man roster, and used both on the offensive side of the ball, first bringing back veteran wide receiver Dontrelle Inman, and then elevating guard Jake Eldrenkamp to the active roster from the practice squad. Both Inman and Eldrenkamp appear on the unofficial depth chart for the first time. While Eldrenkamp was inactive Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, Inman was able to get into the action in his first week back, playing 31 offensive snaps and logging two receptions for 25 yards.

Notes:
» No differences this week compared to last week.
» With Kenny Moore II (ankle) missing his second straight game on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, the team at first continued to utilize safety Rolan Milligan at the slot cornerback position. But then Milligan suffered a foot injury during the game and was eventually ruled out. The team then put Quincy Wilson at that spot, but he, too suffered an injury to his shoulder, and wouldn't return. That left rookie Marvell Tell III, who up until recently had exclusively been playing on the outside, to line up inside.
