WESTFIELD, Ind. — With the Indianapolis Colts set to open the 2018 preseason on the road Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks, it's time to take a look at the team's first unofficial depth chart.
A couple things to keep in mind: these depth charts are, indeed, unofficial. Each NFL team is required to publicly release its depth chart the week leading up to a game, and lots can change over the course of the next few days. Also, the players listed as "starters" aren't necessarily those who will start the upcoming game; case in point: injured players or those not yet ready for game action are usually listed on the depth chart, too.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at the initial Colts unofficial depth chart of the 2018 preseason:
