Colts head coach Shane Steichen has yet to announce how many of the team's starters will play during the team's preseason debut against the Denver Broncos. And with multiple ongoing competitions for starting and backup jobs, preseason snaps are invaluable for multiple players.

Though this depth chart is helpful in understanding how the team views multiple ongoing position battles in training camp, it's important to take it with a grain of salt. First, it's the first unofficial depth chart of the year, so it doesn't hold much weight. Second, the title "unofficial" says that these are all subject to change and nowhere near a finished product. But take it as a sign that Colts football is right around the corner.
