Shane Steichen expressed optimism regarding Matt Goncalves' adaptation to the right guard position as the Indianapolis Colts gear up for training camp. While it’s challenging to assess offensive line performance during minicamps without pads, Steichen highlighted Goncalves' progress, noting his learning curve and adaptability. The Colts are counting on Goncalves alongside fellow rookie Tanor Bortolini to stabilize their interior offensive line after the departures of veterans Ryan Kelly and Will Fries.

Offensive line coach Tony Sparano Jr. mentioned that Goncalves would compete for the starting role, emphasizing the time spent practicing at guard last season, which will be advantageous as he gains game experience. With a limited collegiate background at guard, Goncalves has shown promise, displaying power and agility that could significantly contribute to the Colts' offensive line dynamics.
