Colts linebacker Jaylon Carlies in line for playing time during training camp

Indianapolis Colts draft pick Jaylon Carlies is vying for a role in the linebacker rotation this summer. Carlies, selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, participated in first-team reps during minicamp, alongside other linebackers such as CJ Allen and Akeem Davis-Gaither. Missing most of last season due to injury, Carlies contributed on special teams upon his return. His previous experience as a college safety could offer an advantage in coverage situations. The team's linebacker depth chart and starting pairings will be further clarified as training camp unfolds.
