Each year, the Indianapolis Colts, like any other team, have a glut of training camp battles that play a large role in determining the season's outcome.
Last year, Mike Adams won the starting safety role in training camp and turned it into a Pro Bowl alternate selection. Zach Kerr beat out a number of other contenders for a rotational defensive line role, and he could now be a big part of the team's future plans. Jack Mewhort won the starting left guard role after Donald Thomas went down with a quad tear, and now he is one of the few linemen labeled with optimism on the Colts' roster.
