Indians Update Running Back Depth Chart as Two Players Added
The Colts updated their running back depth chart following recent roster moves. Jonathan Taylor remains the top choice with DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan vying for RB2 spots. The group lacks veteran experience, offering a balance of speed and athleticism.
With the Indianapolis Colts making recent roster moves at the running back position, let's take a look at the current state of this unit. On Monday, the Colts signed Anderson Castle and waived Jordon Vaughn. Castle, who went undrafted this past April out of Duke, rushed for 488 yards this season -- career-highs in both yardage and touchdowns.
He is also a very experienced special teams player with over 600 snaps at the college level. Vaughn was signed as an undrafted rookie after the 2026 NFL draft by the Colts. Jonathan Taylor, who will continue to shoulder the bulk of the workload, has DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan vying for the RB2 role behind him.
Beyond carrying the ball effectively, the ability to impact pass protection and contribute on special teams is crucial in determining how the running back depth chart shakes out. This group lacks veteran experience but offers a mix of speed and physicality.
