Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Hilton is joining Indianapolis on a practice-squad deal, setting up a quick elevation to the slot role if needed.
  • Moore left Sunday’s win over the Titans with a left calf injury and is expected to miss only a few weeks, per ESPN and Reuters.
  • Hilton reunites with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo after four seasons together in Cincinnati, where Hilton was the primary nickel corner.
  • The 31-year-old spent the summer with the Dolphins before final cuts and has 13 interceptions and 56 passes defensed across 123 career games.
  • Indianapolis is 3-0 and has navigated other secondary injuries, making experienced nickel depth a priority heading into Week 4.
