Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Julién Davenport is expected to get the start at right tackle on Sunday for the Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams with starter Braden Smith inactive.
Smith is inactive for the game due to a foot injury he suffered in the season opener. Davenport will move from left to right tackle now that starter Eric Fisher is active and expected to make his Colts debut.
Julie’n Davenport will start at RT.
Eric Fisher won’t play every snap at LT. Will start, but Davenport will slide in at times. Then Matt Pryor will go in at RT. https://t.co/IQGHTfqbeh

Davenport filled in at left tackle for Fisher while he worked his way back from a torn Achilles. In the opener, Pro Football Focus credited Davenport with six total pressures allowed, including two sacks.
It isn’t clear how long Smith will be out for the Colts with his foot injury, but the team wasn’t having any discussions about putting him on the injured reserve list this week.
