SEATTLE — A Colts offensive line that has already lost right tackle Braden Smith for the season is now playing without its other offensive tackle.
Left tackle Bernhard Raimann is questionable to return due to an elbow injury suffered on the Colts’ touchdown drive near the end of the first half.
Developmental tackle Luke Tenuta entered the game in place of Raimann, taking his first offensive snaps since the 2022 season. Tenuta has played in just three career games, seeing seven offensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps with the Packers in 2022.
But the Colts have nowhere else to turn, at least not in the middle of the game.
Fourth-round pick Jalen Travis started the game in place of Smith, who suffered a concussion against Jacksonville last week, and even though right guard Matt Goncalves is a college tackle and played on the outside in place of Smith last year, moving him in the middle of a season where he’s played every snap at right guard might be difficult.
If Raimann is not able to return, the Colts will likely have to lean on Tenuta and Travis the rest of the time, playing in front of 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers.
