Colts forecast special teams lineup ahead of training camp
Summary

As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for training camp, predictions for the 53-man roster are underway, focusing on the special teams unit. Rigoberto Sanchez and Luke Rhodes are considered roster locks due to their performances. The competition for the kicking position is between Blake Grupe and Spencer Shrader. Grupe, who finished last season with perfect accuracy on field goal attempts, is seen as the early favorite over Shrader, who missed most of the previous season due to an ACL injury. Training camp will provide further clarity on these positions as the roster takes shape.
