The Indianapolis Colts have released their unofficial depth chart ahead of the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
For the most part, the depth chart this week mirrors what we saw a week ago, however, it does now reflect Jaylon Jones being on IR and Austin Ajiake being signed to the 53-man roster.

As always, here are a few notes and takeaways about where things stand, playing time-wise, at a few positions.
WR:Â Michael Pittman Jr., Ashton Dulin
LT:Â Bernhard Raimann, Luke Tenuta
C:Â Tanor Bortolini, Danny Pinter
RG:Â Matt Goncalves, Dalton Tucker
RT:Â Braden Smith, Jalen Travis
TE:Â Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory
WR:Â Josh Downs, Anthony Gould
WR:Â Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell
QB:Â Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson Sr., Riley Leonard
RB: Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Goodson OR DJ Giddens
– Tyler Goodson was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice–a sign he could be available for the first time this week. If he is, I’ll be curious to see if the RB2 role is actually split, or if it’s Giddens getting most of those opportunities.
– As mentioned before, Tentua isn’t the true backup tackle; Jalen Travis is the swing tackle off the bench, filling in at either side as needed.
– Something to monitor on Thursday and Friday, both Josh Downs and Tyler Warren did not practice on Wednesday.

DE:Â Kwity Paye, Tyquan Lewis, JT Tuimoloau
DT:Â DeForest Buckner, Neville Gallimore, Adetomiwa Adebawore
NT:Â Grover Stewart, Eric Johnson II
DE:Â Laiatu Latu, Samson Ebukam
WLB:Â Joe Bachie, Cameron McGrone, Segun Olubi
MLB:Â Zaire Franklin, Chad Muma, Austin Ajiake
CB:Â Charvarius Ward Sr. Johnathan Edwards
FS: Camryn Bynum, Rodney Thomas II
SS:Â Nick Cross, Daniel Scott
N:Â Kenny Moore II, Mekhi Blackmon
– As we saw last week, while Blackmon is listed as the backup nickel, he’s also the first option off the bench at outside cornerback. Johnathan Edwards will provide depth while Jaylon Jones is out.
– Ajiake is listed as the third middle linebacker, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he rotates with Joe Bachie next to Zaire Franklin. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has said he likes getting multiple linebackers in the game, and Cameron McGrone is coming off a tough performance.
– Both Laiatu Latu and Charvarius Ward were practicing on Wednesday.
– Who can step up behind Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner? Both played a lot of snaps on Sunday, but at a heavily rotated position like defensive tackle, having some steady depth is essential.
