Predicting final wave of Colts roster cuts before deadline

The Colts must get the roster down to 53 players today. Here’s our prediction on the final wave of cuts.

The Indianapolis Colts are already on their way to trimming the roster down to 53 players before Tuesday’s deadline at 4:00 p.m. ET, but there are still several more moves to make.

Entering Tuesday morning, the Colts have parted ways with 14 players. You can keep up with the latest updates throughout the day via our tracker. We will continue to update the tracker as the news flies in Tuesday.

You also can check out our final 53-man roster projection, which will coincide with this list below. In regards to the Jonathan Taylor situation, we left him off this list even with the potential of a trade taking place. There simply isn’t enough information as of this writing to know what will happen.

With the deadline quickly approaching, here’s our prediction for the final wave of roster cuts for the Colts:

8 toughest cuts from our final Colts’ 53-man roster projection

These were the toughest cuts from our Colts’ final roster projection.

The Indianapolis Colts have until Tuesday afternoon to cut the roster down to 53 players as the preseason officially comes to an end.

This is no easy task, and there will be plenty of surprises along the way. After three preseason games and joint practices with two separate teams, the Colts have to use all the information they’ve gathered to compile the best collection of 53 players moving forward.

The process, of course, doesn’t end with the initial 53-man roster, and it’s likely that changes will come immediately the day after through the waiver wire.

As we went through with our final roster projection ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, there were some difficult choices made regarding players on the roster bubble. It could be due to the fact that they played well in a crowded room or they didn’t show quite enough to be worthy of a spot.

Here’s a look at the eight toughest cuts we made in our final roster projection for the Colts:

Instant analysis of Colts’ preseason win over Eagles

Here’s our instant analysis from the Colts’ preseason win over the Eagles.

The Indianapolis Colts wrapped their preseason Thursday night with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

The team scored on five of its 10 drives, creating 393 yards of total offense, 127 yards rushing on the ground, and a 42% third-down efficiency rate.

Behind the strength of their ground game and contributions from all three quarterbacks, the Colts secured a 27-13 win behind their scoring in all four quarters.

Here’s the instant analysis from the preseason Week 3 win:

Stock up, Stock down from Colts’ preseason loss to Bills

Here’s the stock report from the Colts’ preseason loss against the Bills.

The Indianapolis Colts officially began the preseason with a 23-19 loss Saturday against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

We got to see the starters take the field for the first quarter while the second and third teams got the majority of the work during the final three quarters of the game.

When taking stock of a player’s performance, it’s best to be fluid. A player’s stock will fall and rise throughout the preseason so none of this is set in stone. But it is important to take note of the narratives and storylines taking place as the regular season quickly approaches.

A player’s stock can be impacted by their performance or the type of snaps they receive during the preseason.

Here’s a look at the stock watch for the Colts following the preseason opener:

9 Colts to watch in preseason opener vs. Bills

Keep an eye on these 9 players as the Colts begin the preseason.

The Indianapolis Colts officially commence the preseason with a matchup Saturday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

There will be plenty of storylines to keep an eye on in regard to both sides of the ball, and almost everyone will have their eyes on rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, who is making the start in his debut.

Though we shouldn’t overreact to the preseason, there are certain players we should keep an eye on. Whether they’re competing for a roster spot or looking to carve out a bigger role, there will be plenty to watch on Saturday.

Here are nine Colts to watch in the preseason opener against the Bills:

1 veteran player on roster bubble at each position for Colts

Taking a look at one Colts’ veteran on the roster bubble from each position.

The Indianapolis Colts are just weeks away from the start of training camp when the team will arrive at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield.

Bringing in a rookie head coach and new coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball means there will be a lot of competition taking place throughout the roster.

Training camp and the preseason will be the best time for players to make their cases for the 53-man roster. For this exercise, we’re going to look at veteran players from each position who are on the roster bubble.

We’ll try to include as many relevant veterans as possible, ones who carry some weight but realistically may be on the fringe of the roster.

Here’s a look at one veteran player on the roster bubble from each position for the Colts:

Colts sign 12 players to futures contracts

The Colts signed 12 players to futures contracts.

The Indianapolis Colts signed 12 players to Reserve/Futures contracts, the team announced Monday.

As is typical protocol following the end of the regular season, the Colts will be preparing to expand their roster to 90 players for the offseason. Much of that includes signing players to futures contracts.

The expansion of the roster to 90 players doesn’t go into effect until the start of the new league year, which is March 15. That’s why it’s technically a reserve contract. This is essentially stating the player will be on the 90-man roster when the time comes.

There is no limit to how many futures contracts the Colts have as long as they are within the 90-man limit when the new league year rolls around.

Here’s a look at the 12 players signed to futures contracts to begin the offseason:

Colts elevate LB Segun Olubi from practice squad

The Colts elevated LB Segun Olubi for Monday night’s matchup.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated linebacker Segun Olubi from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Olbui will provide depth on special teams and as a last resort in the linebacker room room on defense. He has been with the Colts since signing to the practice squad Sept. 1.

This is Olubi’s first standard elevation of the 2022 season and the first time he’s appeared in a regular-season game in 2022.

Olubi will revert to the team’s practice squad Tuesday.

Colts sign two more to the practice squad

The Colts added two more to the practice squad Thursday.

The Indianapolis Colts signed linebacker Segun Olubi and guard Arlington Hambright to the practice squad, the team announced Thursday.

Olubi signed with the San Francisco 49ers following the 2022 NFL draft as an undrafted rookie free agent out of San Deigo State. In two seasons at San Diego State, Olubi recorded 68 tackles (34 solo), four tackles for loss, two sacks, two passes defended and one interception.

Hambright was a seventh-round pick with the Chicago Bears in the 2020 NFL draft and appeared in nine regular-season games during his rookie season. He spent the 2022 offseason with the New England Patriots before being waived during final roster cuts.
