How bad will the Colts offensive line be?

Credit the Indianapolis Colts for getting younger and more dynamic on defense this offseason. That was a major need.

But the Colts didn’t address their offensive line much, meaning quarterback Andrew Luck — or whoever plays under center — will be under plenty of duress over the course of the season. Remember, Luck suffered 41 sacks a year ago, second highest in the NFL, and enters this season with concerns surrounding his shoulder recovery.

A bad O-line risks more harm to Indy’s top investment. And with the plethora of other problems the Colts may experience, 2017 may be a long, long year.
