Indianapolis Colts’ rookie offensive lineman Jalen Travis only logged a handful of snaps in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but in a sense, his impact extended well beyond what he did on the field. When the mammoth offensive tackle was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 draft, the move was part of a larger plan to rebuild the offensive line.
With Travis able to provide depth at tackle, it allowed line coach Tony Sparano to move last year’s swing tackle, Matt Goncalves, to right guard. Goncalves had an outstanding game against the Dolphins in Week 1.
