Offensive Line (9)
Roster Locks: Bernhard Raimann, Quenton Nelson, Ryan Kelly, Will Fries, Braden Smith, Blake Freeland, Danny Pinter, Matthew Gonclaves, Tanor Bortolini
Practice Squad: Jake Witt, Dalton Tucker
Roster Cuts: Arlington Hambright, Mike Panasiuk

The Colts gave some clarity this week on the offensive line as they waived rookie Ryan Coll and reserve Josh Sills on Monday. They signed center Mike Panasiuk, who played in the UFL last season and had not seen NFL action since his time in Carolina in the 20-21 season.

Another decision for the final spot looms here as they will likely be choosing between Danny Pinter and rookie UDFA Dalton Tucker for the final slot on the offensive line depth chart. Tucker has earned the spot, but I think that Pinter will get the nod because of this experience in the league.

While not much more than the others, this reserve unit is young and in need of the experience Pinter could bring to it. Add Jake Witt to the practice squad with Dalton Tucker and allow these guys to continue their development. Does the Bortolini toe injury tip the scales to Pinter as well? Don’t rule out a waiver claim for this unit either.

Defensive Line (9)
Roster Locks: Kwity Paye, Laiatu Latu, Raekwon Davis, Tyquan Lewis, Dayo Odeyingbo, Grover Stewart, DeForest Buckner, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Isaiah Land
Practice Squad: Titus Leo, Jonah Laulu
Roster Cuts: Taven Bryan, Eric Johnson II, Genard Avery, Derek Rivers, Levi Bell

The return of Raekwon Davis and the fantastic play of Isaiah Land moves Taven Bryan to the cut line. Davis has too much invested contractually to not play (if healthy), and Land has had a terrific camp and played well in both preseason games with Raekwon Davis recovering.

Lots of positives so far with all the players in this room. We saw improvement from both Isaiah Land Adetomiwa Adebawore this preseason and the rotational element of their roles will only aid in their development. First-round pick Laiatu Latu looks like the real deal and will be terrorizing outside tackles all season. Titus Leo and rookie Jonah Laulu will round out the room on the practice squad.
