Some Colts get new numbers as Week 1 officially kicks off

The Indianapolis Colts, like every other team in the league, now have cut their rosters down to the 53-man unit. With this comes a change in numbers now that they have much fewer digits to put on the player’s back.

It was fairly obvious that some were going to change, but even a few of those who had position-accurate numbers in the preseason have been adjusted. Additionally, new players to the roster had to get theirs as well.

Aside from the official move of Tyquan Lewis, the Colts 53-man roster is set, and they still need to officially add 5 more names to their practice squad as well. There may be more changes coming soon, but for now, this is what the Colts have.

Here are those whose numbers have changed:

Jordan Wilkins goes from 30 to 20

Zaire Franklin goes from 97 to 44

Skai Moore goes from 48 to 55

Steve Ishmael goes from 3 to 17
