3 Colts' undrafted rookies who could make 53-man roster push

LB West Weeks, LSU

The depth of the linebacker position for the Colts remains a question, which could open up an opportunity for Weeks to make a roster push. Playing 564 snaps in 2025, Weeks found success as a blizter, totaling 13 pressures with three sacks. He recorded 66 tackles, missing 11, and in coverage, held opponents to 9.1 yards per catch.

RB Jordon Vaughn, Abilene Christian

Behind Jonathan Taylor, the backup running back role and the third spot on the depth chart are up for grabs. Presumably, some combination of DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan will earn those roles, but neither is considered an absolute roster lock either. Along with being productive as a ball carrier, the ability to impact the passing game -- both as a blocker and pass-catcher -- and special teams play will be important factors when determining these roles. Vaughn was a big-play threat this past season, averaging a whopping 6.0 yards per rush on 113 carries. He proved to be very tough to bring down, averaging 4.42 yards after contact.

OT Nolan Rucci, Penn State

Bernhard Raimann will start at left tackle, but after that, there are some question marks at this position for the Colts. Jalen Travis is the expected starting right tackle, but he is still a relatively inexperienced player. Luke Tenuta and Blake Freeland will compete for the swing tackle role, but Tenuta has few regular-season reps, while Freeland hasn't seen steady playing time since 2023 and is coming off an injury. Starting at right tackle the last two seasons, Ruccie allowed just two total sacks over 599 pass-blocking snaps.
