Colts Bubble Watch: Is Delone Carter at risk of getting cut?

As the article states, Carter seems like he would be a perfect fit for Arians' style. Hope he can hang on.

I've been following this a little bit, and DC3 injured his ribs in the first preseason game which didn't help his cause. Even before the preseason Arians traded for Moore who is a back Arians is familiar with having worked with him previously if I recall correctly. And Vick Ballard has opened eyes from the day he was drafted. If the Colts go with 4 RBs I think DC3 makes the cut, but it will be close.

If the Colts let him go I suspect Delone will end up with another team. Ironically, I think those fumbles last year hurt him in the eyes of the new coaching staff. I say ironically because DC3 almost never fumbled at SU. He just needs to secure the ball and trust his abilities and I think he ends up someplace this year.

Fjoinkay nailed it. Only way DC3 makes the Colts is if they go with four RBs. He is clearly 4th in the pecking order at this point. Even then, the 5th RB would have a shot over DC3 because DC3 has yet to do anything on special teams. What DC3 has going for him is that no one has emerged from the free agents etc. in the slots beneath him.

Also, there are rumors (thought not widely believed) that the Colts might trade for Maurice Jones-Drew, which would almost assuredly mean DC3 would be looking for a new NFL team.

I would love to see him end up with the Browns.
