6 Colts who should be considered for the protected practice squad

Colts can protect up to four players on the practice squad.

WR Ashton Dulin

This is a very similar situation for Dulin as it was for Patmon. However, Dulin has a better chance at cracking the 53-man roster than Patmon does. Given his athleticism and abilities on special teams, Dulin is very well in the race for the final wide receiver spot.

But should he fail to make the roster when cuts are made, the Colts should consider protecting Dulin. He has potential as a depth wide receiver piece and the Colts often cite their desire for players in that role to work on special teams.

Dulin may wind up on the active roster but if he doesn’t he should be considered to be one of the protected players on the roster.
