Linebacker (6)

| MIKE | Anthony Walker | Bobby Okereke |
| SAM | Matthew Adams | Zaire Franklin |
Analysis: This room doesn’t change at all and doesn’t really need to be touched on all that much outside of one point. While Walker is listed as the starting MIKE and Okereke his backup, that’s not how it’s going to play out during the season. Both players will see time on the field and there’s even the chance Okereke usurps Walker as the starter. The chart above is more for positional reference rather than a rank in projected playing time. For example, Okereke is listed as a backup but could wind up seeing the second-most snaps in the room behind Leonard. Walker is in a contract year and there have been no indications of an extension so he’s certainly fighting for something. The rest of the room will provide solid depth while contributing on special teams. It should be noted the Colts drafted Jordan Glasgow out of Michigan in the sixth round, but it will be tough for him to make the roster unless he really proves to be a difference-maker on special teams.
Notable cuts: Jordan Glasgow*
