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

The Colts will evaluate the veteran’s readiness for a potential nickel assignment given his familiarity with Lou Anarumo’s defense.

Overview

  • Indianapolis officially added Mike Hilton to the practice squad Tuesday and released wide receiver Tyler Scott from the practice squad.
  • Kenny Moore II exited the Week 3 win with a calf injury and is expected to miss a few weeks, with head coach Shane Steichen saying injured reserve is not currently being considered.
  • Hilton reunites with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, under whom he played four seasons in Cincinnati primarily as a slot corner.
  • Anarumo said coaches will assess Hilton’s readiness after his preseason stint with Miami, and the team can elevate him from the practice squad if needed.
  • The Colts cited Hilton’s career totals of 13 interceptions, 56 passes defensed, 66 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks across 123 games with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
