A Colts roster vacancy opened when Jaylon Jones was placed on injured reserve, leaving Indianapolis at 52 players ahead of Week 2 with Denver on the horizon. The team has not filled the spot yet, but has already bolstered cornerback depth by elevating Chris Lammons and adding Ulysess Bentley for depth and special-teams value.

With Ward sidelined by concussion protocols, cornerback depth is the obvious target, and Lammons—familiar with Lou Anarumo’s system—looks like the most likely fit. A linebacker addition remains a possibility, as the club has brought in bodies for workouts since training camp. The move could come Monday or Tuesday to maximize practice reps before the third game.

Week 2 WR starts lean into ceiling plays such as Pickens against a vulnerable Giants secondary, Tillman exploiting Ravens’ man-heavy looks, and Higgins aiming to rebound after Week 1. Kupp presents a high-variance path given Seattle’s offense and injury risks. Ridley is a potential fade with Cam Ward’s uneven start in Tennessee. Lawrence and Stroud anchor a QB landscape that amplifies receiver ceilings, while Darnold’s Seahawks expose a path for opportunistic WRs. Two bold sit-start arcs emerge for Week 2 in this breakdown.
