    Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart

    Mendoza will begin his rookie season as the backup to Kirk Cousins, and it comes after a preseason in which he showed there's still room for him to develop before rising to the top of the depth chart.

    Third-round safety A.J. Haulcy has seemingly earned the Colts' opening at strong safety, because although he didn't participate in the preseason finale against the Lions, it still feels like his job once Week 1 arrives.
