Colts Sign Veteran CB Mike Hilton to Practice Squad After Kenny Moore II’s Calf Injury

Hilton’s familiarity with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo offers an immediate scheme fit at nickel.

Overview

  • Kenny Moore II is expected to miss a few weeks with a calf injury that is not considered major, according to multiple reports.
  • Indianapolis added Mike Hilton to the practice squad as short-term depth at slot corner, with potential elevations to the active roster as needed.
  • Hilton, 31, reunites with Lou Anarumo after four seasons together in Cincinnati, where he primarily played nickel and produced 13 career interceptions.
  • The move addresses a thinned secondary that includes Jaylon Jones on injured reserve and earlier absences for Charvarius Ward, plus season-ending injuries to two rookies.
  • Moore had a pick-six in the Week 3 win that moved the Colts to 3-0, and the team next faces the Rams on the road.
