Colts make pair of roster moves on OL due to injuries

The Indianapolis Colts announced a pair of roster moves on Monday along the offensive due to injuries.

The Indianapolis Colts have made a pair of roster moves along the offensive line due to injuries.

The team announced on Monday that they placed center Ryan Coll on injured reserve. James Boyd of The Athletic reported that it is a shoulder injury for Coll and “likely” is season-ending.

The other move made by the Colts was waiving/injured Josh Sills, who left Saturday’s preseason game against Arizona with an ankle injury.

The Colts signed Coll about a week and a half ago to bolster the interior offensive line depth after Wesley French was placed on IR.

Coll went undrafted this past April out of Richmond, where he played left tackle and both guard positions. He has played just one preseason snap, and it came on special teams.

Sills had been spending time with the second team offense at left guard this summer. Before exiting the Cardinals’ game, Sills had surrendered two pressures in only 10 pass-blocking snaps, according to PFF.

Sills was fighting for potentially the last roster spot along the offensive line, but on the depth chart in that regard, was likely behind both Danny Pinter and Dalton Tucker.

The Colts would make two additions with these freed up roster spots, signing center Mike Panasiuk and linebacker Mike Smith Jr.

Colts’ OL Josh Sills ruled out of preseason game vs. Cardinals

Colts’ offensive lineman Josh Sills exited the Cardinals game and was ruled out. Here is what you need to know.

It was announced in the third quarter that offensive lineman Josh Sills was ruled out of the Colts’ preseason game versus the Arizona Cardinals.

Sills suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter. CBS4 reported that he got it taped up and was running along the sidelines at one point, but ultimately he will not return.

On the Colts’ unofficial depth chart, Sills–along with Dalton Tucker–is listed as the backup right guard behind Will Fries. However, against Denver last week and then in this game against Arizona, Sills was at left guard.

In Week 1 of the preseason, PFF credited Sills with allowing one pressure in 26 pass-blocking snaps.

If the Colts are going to roster nine offensive linemen on the 53-man, then there may only be one roster spot up for grabs. If the team goes heavy and keeps 10, then there will potentially be two spots available.

From the outside looking in, it seems like it is Sills, Tucker, and Danny Pinter competing for those one-to-two spots. As an undrafted rookie, Tucker’s upside and potential will work in his favor when it comes to this decision. Versatility along the interior will also be important.

“You’re dressing 48 guys, eight linemen,” said GM Chris Ballard after the draft. “If you draft an offensive lineman, to just play one position, unless you’re the starter makes it very difficult. You need to have a guy that can play both tackle spots, a guy that can play both guard spots and swing. And really, two more guys that can snap the football.”
