The Indianapolis Colts continue to search for a backup center behind starter Tanor Bortolini. With Danny Pinter moving to Baltimore, the team has several options on the roster, including undrafted free agents Geno VanDeMark and Josh Kreutz, and Jimmy Morrissey, who has limited experience. Dalton Tucker, primarily a guard, may be considered for the role due to the addition of Jalen Farmer, which allows Tucker to move inside. Training camp will clarify how Tucker adjusts to a potential position change.
