Perhaps the biggest shock was seeing Ronnie Harrison Jr. on the list of released names. After providing depth at linebacker and spot-starting at safety during the 2023 season, Harrison put together good preseason work. It looks like the ambiguous state of this position is a bit clearer for <a href="https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/julian-blackmon/" rel="nofollow"> Julian Blackmon </a> and <a href="https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/nick-cross/" rel="nofollow"> Nick Cross </a> and the depth players behind them. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> These nine moves are the beginning of what will be many ahead. The Colts are amidst the hardest choices since the simple ones are made the earliest. We'll see if preseason darlings like quarterback <a href="https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/jason-bean/" rel="nofollow"> Jason Bean </a> , running back <a href="https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/tyler-goodson/" rel="nofollow"> Tyler Goodson </a> , and cornerback <a href="https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/micah-abraham/" rel="nofollow"> Micah Abraham </a> can continue making the cuts through each phase of Indy roster transactions. <hr> Want more Colts content?
