Projected Week 6 starters:
LT Bernhard Raimann
LG Quenton Nelson
C Tanor Bortolini
RG Dalton Tucker
RT Braden Smith
The Colts lost right guard Will Fries for the season after he suffered a lower leg injury in Week 5’s loss to the Jaguars. He was replaced by rookie Dalton Tucker, who played his first offensive snaps in the NFL and earned a 62.8 PFF overall grade on 25 reps against Jacksonville. Fries was PFF’s second-highest-graded guard in the NFL after five weeks, with an 86.9 PFF overall grade.
Right tackle Braden Smith had an uncharacteristic outing against Jacksonville in Week 5. The Colts' offensive line surrendered nine pressures and four sacks, and Smith was responsible for five of the pressures, including three sacks.
Best player: Quenton Nelson
Nelson’s 84.9 PFF overall grade ranks third among guards, but both players ahead of him in the rankings are out for the season with injuries.
