However, the Colts could elevate 2 players from the Practice Squad to the game day roster to supplement the 53 man roster. I guess I am already envisioning the Colts elevating 2 OL in Week 1.

The final number of O Lineman will probably depend on how Ryan Kelly and Big Q respond over the next 10 days or so.
LT is the biggest issue. We didn’t adequately address the depth there. But I will say this is pretty difficult to do. No team has good depth at tackle. They are too in demand. You would have to spend a high draft pick on the position to really get some depth. Still we will have to see who gets cut out there. Might be able to find someone.

Skai Moore is a potential 7th at LB. he has always been a good ST player and adequate backup.
