Indianapolis Colts 2024 Final 53 Man Roster Predictions

Safety (5)
Roster Locks: Julian Blackmon, Rodney Thomas II, Nick Cross, Ronnie Harrison Jr, Trevor Denbow
Practice Squad: Marcel Dabo
Roster Cuts: Micheal Tutsie

Nick Cross and Julian Blackmon have secured their starting roles with stellar play during the preseason. Rodney Thomas II returns and the defensive hybrid Ronnie Harrison Jr will be the reserve player. I have Trevor Denbow making the last and final spot on this team. His special teams abilities give him the final roster spot. However, if a player that this franchise has been watching either comes available or has been available, it will not surprise me if they grab a waiver claim here.

Special Teams (3)
Roster Locks: Matt Gay, Rigoberto Sanchez, Luke Rhodes
Practice Squad: Spencer Shrader
Roster Cuts: None

The top three players are locked in here and have been since the start of offseason workouts. However, starter Matt Gay has had an inconsistent preseason with multiple missed field goals. Do the Colts keep Spencer Shrader to make sure Matt Gay has some competition every week in practice? I think it’s a real possibility.
