CBS Sports issued a C-minus preseason grade to the Indianapolis Colts following a 0-2-1 exhibition record. The evaluation highlighted concerns regarding backup quarterback depth and the consistency of players filling in for starters. Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard, and Anthony Richardson Sr. were retained on the final 53-man roster to address the position. Additionally, wide receiver Kennan Allen faces potential league discipline following recent DWI charges.
