Overview

  • Indianapolis acquired the two-time All-Pro corner from the Jets for two future first-round picks and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.
  • At 7-2 with the NFL’s top-scoring offense, the Colts targeted a weakness after allowing 244.8 passing yards per game before the trade.
  • Gardner said he feels no pressure after the move, describing it as the Colts wanting him and praising the locker room fit.
  • He is being integrated into the rotation with expectations for a Week 10 start to his Colts tenure against the Falcons on Nov. 9 at 9:30 a.m. ET.
  • Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon pressed for a lasting fix at cornerback, and Gardner is under contract for more than five seasons alongside Charvarius Ward and Kenny Moore.
