Colts Prepare for Roster Cuts Ahead of Season

The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for crucial roster cuts ahead of the 2024 NFL season, needing to reduce their roster from 91 to 53 players by August 27th. With training camp and preseason concluded, the team faces key decisions, particularly regarding the quarterback position, where Anthony Richardson is secured as the starter, and Joe Flacco is the backup, leaving Sam Ehlinger likely off the roster. The running back situation is complicated by Trey Sermon's hamstring injury, prompting discussions about retaining both Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull as viable options for the third running back spot. The Colts also evaluated their wide receiver and cornerback positions during training camp, with some rookies in contention for roster spots. Overall, the roster's final composition will reflect the team's strategic choices made throughout the preseason. The Colts aim to finalize their lineup as they head into their matchup against the Houston Texans.
