4 Takeaways from Colts vs. Ravens Week 1 Unofficial Depth Chart


Ahead of the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, the team released its first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 regular season.

Here are four observations from there.

Seth McGowan – reserve runner

This isn’t surprising, but it confirms what we saw over the summer. With DJ Giddens missing time through injury, McGowan took over most of the RB2 reps and took advantage of those opportunities.

Defensive end rotation

Laiatu Latu and Arden Key are the starters, with the next two players in the rotation being Jaylan Tuimoloau and Michael Clemons, again not surprising given how the summer has unfolded. However, I wonder if George Gumbs and/or Cayden Curry will be able to push for larger roles as the season progresses. It was a quiet preseason for Tuimoloau and Clemons.

Starting linebackers

As Lou Anarumo mentioned on Tuesday, Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jaylon Karlis are the two starting linebackers. However, he also mentioned that the Colts may rotate players and that playing time will be continually evaluated.

Let’s start reliable security

AJ Halsey is listed as a strong starting cornerback for the Colts, which is what you’d expect after watching training camp and the preseason. He brings impressive ball skills and versatility to the Colts’ secondary. However, his status for Sunday is currently in doubt.
