Training camp for the Indianapolis Colts kicks off in about a month, so as part of our preview of what's to come, we will be evaluating each positional battle that is expected to unfold.
What took place during offseason programs laid the foundation for each of these competitions and provided us with some insights into where things may stand. That said, how training camp and the preseason unfold will ultimately determine who wins these roles.
Next up is the offensive line unit.
I'm not going to completely rule out rookie Jalen Farmer pushing Matt Goncalves for snaps at right guard, but we should expect Goncalves to be the Week 1 starter. Offensive line coach Tony Sparano is very bullish about Goncalves making a jump in Year 2 as a guard.
So perhaps more applicable to this training camp battle conversation is what the depth chart beyond the starters will look like, specifically at tackle? Luke Tenuta, Blake Freeland, and Nolan Rucci will all be in the mix for that first off-the-bench role.
