Colts Rookies Debut in Week One | Indianapolis Colts News

The Colts’ 2026 draft rookies made their Week One debut against the Ravens in mixed fashion—some got snaps, others didn’t. Linebacker CJ Allen saw zero defensive action, while safety AJ Haulcy played 67 defensive snaps, making tackles but surrendering a touchdown catch. Guard Jalen Farmer and linebacker Bryce Boettcher saw limited roles, mostly on special teams. Defensive end George Gumbs Jr. sat out entirely. Caden Curry got some defensive reps plus special teams contributions, likely earning his spot over Gumbs. Running back Seth McGowan had no carries but shined on kick returns, averaging over 32 yards. Wide receiver Deion Burks didn’t touch the ball offensively but contributed on special teams. The coaching staff is taking a cautious, multi-phase approach, valuing special teams work as much as on-field performance early on.
