It is only Week Four of the NFL regular season but the Indianapolis Colts are already pushing their depth to the limits, especially on defense. When the Colts square off with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, they will do it without six starters, five of which are on defense.
In looking at the Colts defenders that are out, it’s clear the Indianapolis defensive line is the spot for the Steelers to attack. Pittsburgh’s rushing attack is still getting up to speed and a hobbled defensive front might be the boost running back Najee Harris needs.
Here is a full rundown of the Colts starters out this week versus the Steelers.
*C Ryan Kelly (neck)
*CB Kenny Moore II (hip)
*DE Kwity Paye (quad)
*DT DeForest Buckner (ankle)
*CB JuJu Brents (knee)
*DE Samson Ebukam (Achilles)
The only Steelers starter out for this week is guard Isaac Seumalo. He is being replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Mason McCormick.
