Indianapolis Colts beat reporter Stephen Holder released a 53-man roster prediction ahead of the preseason's final week, leaving out safety Juanyeh Thomas and defensive tackles Jerry Tillery and Derrick Nnadi. Despite being recent free-agent signings, their struggles during preseason contributed to their absence from the projected roster. The Colts signed all three to one-year deals at the league minimum, allowing for easy moves if they don't make the team. Initial 53-man rosters are due by 6:00 PM ET on August 30.
