When the Indianapolis Colts take the field for training camp next week, the team will be looking for players to step up.
The Colts lost numerous key veteran leaders this past offseason due both to financial and injury-related concerns. While it was time for most of these moves, the loss of the players will still have a large impact.
Reggie Wayne, Cory Redding, Gosder Cherilus, Ricky Jean Francois and others were both leaders in the locker room and key contributors over the last few seasons (even more for Wayne). There is a void in Indianapolis, and while young players are projected to step up, this is no guarantee.
