How the Colts can replace the Denico Autry-role in 2021

The Indianapolis Colts are basically in “run it back” territory with this offseason, as they appear to be entering the 2021 NFL season with few differences on the roster from the year before. The three major changes from a year ago, though, are the switch at quarterback from Philip Rivers to Carson Wentz, the switch at left tackle from Anthony Castonzo to (likely) a highly drafted rookie, and the departure of Denico Autry.

That last loss seems to be the most interesting as it is the one without a direct replacement. Autry played a pivotal role on the Colts’ defense over the past few years, as he started games at both three technique defensive tackle and strong side defensive end.
