The Indianapolis Colts now have six training camp practices under their belts. So given what we have learned, what does the offensive depth chart currently look like?

There is still time for players to make a push for playing time or a roster spot with several weeks of practices and three preseason games remaining. However, one week in, things are taking shape as well within each position group.

Here is where we believe things stand for the offense. For a look at the offense, you can find that here.

Colts' defensive end depth chart​

  • Laiatu Latu
  • Arden Key
  • Jaylahn Tuimoloau
  • Micheal Clemons
  • Caden Curry
  • George Gumbs Jr.
  • Durell Nchami
  • Mitchell Melton

Key seems to be taking the bulk of the first-team reps over Jaylahn Tuimoloau. Curry and Gumbs are often working with the third-team defense.

Colts' defensive tackle depth chart​

  • DeForest Buckner
  • Grover Stewart
  • Colby Wooden
  • Adetomiwa Adebawore
  • Jerry Tillery
  • Derrick Nnadi
  • Tim Smith
  • Cameron Ball

The battle to watch here is between Tillery and Nnadi, who may be competing for just one roster spot. Nnadi has been sidelined recently, dealing with a toe injury.

Colts linebacker depth chart​

  • CJ Allen
  • Akeem Davis-Gaither
  • Bryce Boettcher
  • Austin Ajiake
  • Jaylon Carlies
  • West Weeks
  • Tahj Chambers
  • Devin Versuk

Allen is expected to start, while Davis-Gaither and Boettcher are competing for the starting role next to him. It's been difficult to gauge who has the upper hand in that competition. Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan recently highlighted each training camp battle and had Ajiake over Carlies currently.

Colts cornerback depth chart​

  • Sauce Gardner
  • Charvarius Ward
  • Justin Walley
  • Cam Taylor-Britt
  • Mekhi Blackmon
  • Johnathan Edwards
  • Jaylon Jones
  • Robert Carter Jr.
  • Jai'Onte' McMillan
  • Mekhi Rodgers

Taylor-Britt, Blackmon, Edwards, and Jones are potentially competing for three roster spots. Taylor-Britt has experience in Anarumo's defense from their time together in Cincinnati. Blackmon played over 700 defensive snaps in 2025, while Edwards has quite a bit of upside. Jones has struggled to gain his footing in Anarumo's scheme.

Colts safety depth chart​

  • Cam Bynum
  • Hunter Wohler
  • AJ Haulcy
  • Jonathan Owens
  • Juanyeh Thomas
  • Daniel Scott
  • Austin Brown
  • Trey Washington

Wohler is currently dealing with an injury, but through the first few practices, he was starting next to Bynum. Owens has emerged as someone who can be a core special teams player. Thomas may find himself on the roster bubble. In the past, we've seen the Colts roster just four safeties.
