INDIANAPOLIS — When the 2019 season opened, the only questions on the interior of the Colts offensive line centered around the race for the right to back up the entrenched trio of Quenton Nelson, Ryan Kelly and Mark Glowinski.
Ultimately, that race didn’t end up mattering much.
Nelson, Kelly and Glowinski — along with tackles Anthony Castonzo and Braden Smith — ended up missing fewer than 100 combined offensive snaps in a remarkable show of durability, the kind an NFL team rarely enjoys. When Nelson missed half of a game with a concussion and Kelly missed most of the Pittsburgh game with a concussion, Joe Haeg and Josh Andrews stepped in ably.
