Indianapolis Colts 2024 Final 53 Man Roster Predictions

Linebacker (5)                                                                                                                              
Roster Locks: EJ Speed, Zaire Franklin, Grant Stuard, Segun Olubi, Jaylon Carlies
Practice Squad: Austin Ajiake, Cameron McGrone
Roster Cuts: Mike Smith Jr, Craig Young, Liam Anderson

This room has not changed at all since training camp. It will be led by Zaire Franklin and EJ Speed. Jaylon Carlies had some flashes as well, even with the hip injury he dealt with. Look for the franchise to put Cameron McGrone and Austin Ajiake on the practice squad for insurance reasons.

Cornerback (6)
Roster Locks: JuJu Brents, Kenny Moore, Jaylon Jones, Dallis Flowers, Jaylin Simpson, Micah Abraham
Practice Squad: Ameer Speed, Darrell Baker Jr
Roster Cuts: Chris Lammons, Clay Fields

Another difficult decision on the back end of the room here. The first four are set in stone but the final two spots could be decided between 5 players. Lot of factors to mitigate but I think they go with the two rookies and continue the youth movement.

They both have played well and while the others have had some noticeable plays it comes down to whether they could get the two rookies through waivers, and I don’t think either Jaylin Simpson or Micah Abraham would be able to get through without being claimed.
