Tanor Bortolini will, of course, be the starting center, but the backup role needed to be filled.

The Colts tried moving guard Dalton Tucker there this summer, but he struggled often with snapping the ball. Veteran Jimmy Morrissey saw some opportunities as well, but he also dealt with inconsistency.

Van Pran-Granger was a fifth-round pick by Buffalo in 2024. He’s appeared in 12 regular-season games, making two starts, and playing 217 total snaps. In his one start last season against New England in Week 18, Van Pran-Granger allowed just one pressure over 35 pass-blocking snaps.
