» The key thing to keep in mind at linebacker for the Colts is that most of the players listed are expected to be able to know and play all three spots (the WILL, MIKE and SAM). So while rookie E.J. Speed is unofficially listed as the backup at WILL linebacker, we've seen him used plenty during practice at SAM, too.

» The battle for spots at the cornerback position for the Colts is just like the one at wide receiver — not even close to being over. While Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore II are locked in as starters on the outside (and then Moore II moves inside when the team goes to its nickel package), there has been a wide range of combinations used by defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus beyond that point. We'll see how the preseason games shake out and if that has any effect on the depth chart moving forward.
