The Indianapolis Colts' competition to start at right tackle just got more complicated

One day after incumbent Denzelle Good left the third preseason game with a knee injury Youth Braden Smith Jersey , coach Frank Reich said that Good would not play in Thursday's preseason finale at Cincinnati and could miss several additional games.Good is listed week to week, meaning the Colts must find another starter before the Sept. 9 season opener against Cincinnati."We are going to take one more week to evaluate that," Reich said on a conference call Sunday. "(General manager) Chris (Ballard) and his staff are working on it. Coaching staff, we have talked a lot about it. Chris and I have had a lot of discussions on it. We will figure out what's best for the team. We are going to use these last couple of days, and last (preseason) game to zero in on that."It's the only spot along the revamped offensive line without a clear front-runner.Longtime left tackle Anthony Castonzo expects to reclaim the spot when he returns from a hamstring injury, which has kept him out for most of training camp. The Colts hope he'll be back for Week 1.Center Ryan Kelly has played well after returning from an injury-filled second season. The 2016 first-round draft pick missed the first part of last year after having foot surgery and finished the season on injured reserve with complications from a concussion.Rookie Quenton Nelson was plugged into the left guard slot after being selected No. 6 overall in this year's draft, and Ballard signed free agent Matt Slauson to start at right guard.But with quarterback Andrew Luck finally back from surgery on his right shoulder, one spot remains unsettled — and Good's injury could make the choice more difficult.Good started last season on injured reserve with a torn ligament in his wrist, but returned in time to start five of Indy's last six games.He entered training camp with the inside track to keep the job — by fending off challenges from second-round pick Braden Smith and veterans Joe Haeg, Austin Howard, J'Marcus Webb and Le'Raven Clark, who started Saturday's game at right tackle.Now, with Good at least temporarily out of the mix, the Colts will take as much time as they need to pick a starter."I feel confident with the guys that we have competing for that position, but we will take all the time allotted to us to make that decision," Reich said. "No one panics, you get guys ready to play and you go in with confidence with the guys you got."Good wasn't the only one hurting after Saturday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers.Starting defensive end John Simon left the game with a neck injury, but is now listed day to day. Reich said Simon was pulled as a precautionary measure because he also finished last season on injured reserve after hurting his neck http://www.authenticsindianapoliscolts.com/cheap-jabaal-sheard-jersey , and he could return in time for the season opener.Backup safety T.J. Green, who has been fighting to keep a spot on the 53-man active roster, has been listed week to week after hurting his hamstring.Indy also traded former starting inside linebacker Antonio Morrison to Green Bay for cornerback Lenzy Pipkins — a move intended to shore up a secondary that was already missing second-year cornerbacks Quincy Wilson and Nate Hairston because of injuries.But Reich and Ballard are still trying to sort out backup spots at receiver, tight end, in the secondary and even along the offensive line.And they won't be rushed."There are some good battles left at all these positions and we will use the whole body of work to determine that. But certainly last impressions always help," Reich said. "Everybody has their three or four things like this they are dealing with. It's more par for the course, status quo. This is normal order of business." Colts coach Frank Reich doesn't need to spend much time dissecting game tapes to figure out what's going wrong.He sees it with his own eyes at full speed.Dropped passes, turnovers and inexplicable penalties have fueled the Colts' four-game losing streak, leaving them in a big midseason hole."It's been an issue and it's past the point of 'OK, that was a fluke,'" Reich said Monday when pressed specifically on the issue of drops. "We just have to keep working, catching balls."Sportradar lists only six teams with drop percentages worse than Indianapolis' 8.7, and the Colts are tied with Cleveland for most drops in the NFL with 17. Indy tight end Eric Ebron and Baltimore receiver Michael Crabtree are tied for the league lead with six drops each, according to Sportradar.Colts backup receiver Zach Pascal is tied for 11th with three.Because the definition of a drop varies widely, numbers and percentages can be skewed.But former Colts offensive coordinator and interim coach Bruce Arians said during Sunday's telecast he counted 10 drops by the Colts in a loss at New England in Week 5 and 16 over the previous two games.The trend continued when Chester Rogers dropped Andrew Luck's pass on the first play from scrimmage.He was far from alone.Rookie running back Nyheim Hines dropped a touchdown pass later in the game and second-year running back Marlon Mack joined the club when he failed to snag a screen pass on the game's second play. Instead, Mack, who had missed three straight games and four of the first five with an injured hamstring, batted the ball up in the air and Jets cornerback Morris Claiborne returned an interception 17 yards for the game's first score."It's mental White Joe Haeg Jersey ," Mack said after the 42-34 loss. "We just have to lock in and focus. Everyone here can catch, we just have to lock in and squeeze the ball."Another explanation is injuries.While Luck has played reasonably well behind an offensive line that has used five different starting lineups, he has been without Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) the last two games and Pro Bowl tight end Jack Doyle (hip) for four straight games. Receivers Ryan Grant and Marcus Johnson also left with injuries and couldn't finish Sunday's game.Following the loss in New England, Luck said the Colts (1-5) needed to get out of their own way before they could start winning games — and he started by pointing to his own turnover woes.Penalties have been equally problematic.The result: In addition to sharing the league lead in drops, Indy also ranks in the top five in interceptions (eight), fumbles lost (five) and penalties (46).Reich, who played on four Super Bowl teams in Buffalo and won a Super Bowl ring with Philadelphia, knows it's a combination ripe for disaster though he believes the Colts can fix these problems. He has seen it before."I won't go into specific names but I've seen players go into a little bit of a funk for a few games, I've definitely seen that happen and I've seen guys get out of the funk and go on to have great years or great careers," he said.They just have to start holding onto the ball."It's a bit frustrating. I feel a bit like a broken record, but talking about it, that's the easy part. It's doing it, living it, but I'm not discouraged," Luck said. "There are a bunch of competitive people in there, but I think we're going in the right direction and the results will come."NOTES: Indy has re-signed linebacker Skai Moore to the practice squad. The rookie made the active roster out of training camp but has bounced around from the active roster to the practice squad throughout the season. He has recorded two tackles.
