The Indianapolis Colts are working through injuries at the offensive tackle position. To what extent is still to be determined.
Bernhard Raimann did not dress for Saturday’s preseason game against the Packers. The reason is unclear at this time.
Raimann did participate in the Colts’ joint practice with the Packers on Thursday.
In Raimann’s place at left tackle was Jalen Travis.
Then, as the game unfolded, right tackle Braden Smith would leave with a groin injury. Again, the extent of the injury is unknown.
Replacing Smith was Blake Freeland, who suffered a leg injury and had to be carted off.
Taking over for Freeland at right tackle was Luke Tenuta.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only position where the Colts are dealing with injuries. They’re also a bit thin at cornerback as well as safety, with Nick Cross sidelined for this game and Hunter Wohler exiting early on with a foot injury.
