Role with the Colts

After the Colts traded for DeForest Buckner, they have their B-gap settled. Behind Buckner will be Denico Autry and Tyquan Lewis. This means that Day is likely to work with nose tackle Grover Stewart, who is coming off of a strong season in his third year.

Stewart is likely to be the starter given the trust he earned during the second half of the 2019 season. Both will likely be competing in the middle of the defensive line, but it’s more likely that Day holds a depth role while working in the rotation with Stewart at the one-technique.
