The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for their Organized Team Activities (OTAs), which commence on May 28th. As the team transitions from individual drills to team drills, a significant question looms over the linebacker position: Is there sufficient depth to effectively support the unit? Despite some offseason activity, including signing Joe Bechie and drafting Hunter Wohler, the Colts have not made substantial additions to this critical position.

Jaylon Carlies, the third linebacker from last season, put together a reliable rookie campaign, showing promise with his tackling and coverage skills. However, with only 242 career defensive snaps, there are concerns about whether he can seamlessly transition into a full-time starter role. The need for increased competition and depth is palpable, especially as the Colts prepare for the upcoming season.
