Overview
- Indianapolis hosted a workout for multiple edge rushers that included two-time Pro Bowler Shaquil Barrett, per multiple reports.
- No contract was reached with Barrett, and the Colts instead signed undrafted defensive end Seth Coleman to the practice squad.
- The Colts are 6-1 with the NFL’s best record and league-leading offense, heightening urgency to fortify a defense ranked poorly in pass defense metrics.
- League reporting identifies the Colts as a team to watch at the deadline with a focus on acquiring a proven defensive playmaker for coordinator Lou Anarumo.
- Speculation has linked Indy to Bengals All-Pro Trey Hendrickson, though Cincinnati has indicated it does not plan to trade the pass rusher.
