INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts will play their second preseason game of 2021 on Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis against the Vikings. Below is the Colts' unofficial depth chart for the week:
Note: Players in italics are on Active/PUP or Active/NFI.
OFFENSE
» WR: T.Y. Hilton, Mike Strachan, Quartney Davis
» LT: Will Holden, Sam Tevi, Eric Fisher
» LG: Quenton Nelson, Chris Reed
» C: Ryan Kelly, Danny Pinter, Joey Hunt
» RG: Mark Glowinski, Jake Eldrenkamp, Will Fries
» RT: Braden Smith, Julién Davenport, Carter O'Donnell
» TE: Jack Doyle, Noah Togiai, Jordan Thomas, Graham Adomitis
» TE: Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson, Farrod Green, Andrew Vollert
» WR: Zach Pascal, Parris Campbell, DeMichael Harris, Tyler Vaughns
» WR: Michael Pittman Jr., Ashton Dulin, Dezmon Patmon, Tarik Black
» QB: Carson Wentz, Jacob Eason, Sam Ehlinger, Brett Hundley
» RB: Jonathan Taylor, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Benny LeMay, Darius Anderson, Deon Jackson
Notes:
» The Colts' plan is for Sam Ehlinger to start Saturday's game and play the first half, with Jacob Eason subbing in for the second half. It'll be a reverse of what we saw Sunday against the Panthers, with Eason playing the first half and Ehlinger getting the second half.
» With Ryan Kelly and Danny Pinter out, Joey Hunt started at center with Chris Reed and Will Fries sliding over from guard to center later against the Panthers.
» The only player listed as a starter to play on Sunday was Will Holden, who played 45 snaps at left tackle and 17 at right tackle. We'll see what coach Frank Reich's plan is for the Vikings game, but he intimated last week he'll consider playing his starters in Minneapolis.
