Indianapolis made its biggest headlines over the last two days at the cornerback position. The Colts waived 2023 second-rounder JuJu Brents, traded a sixth-round pick for Vikings cornerback Mekhi Blackmon and set up a Wednesday workout with former Bengals nickel Mike Hilton, hinting at the possibility of at least one more move to come.
A handful of spots still appeared to be up for grabs in Saturday’s preseason game, and the players at those spots find themselves competing with the rest of the NFL, since the Colts will be active on the waiver wire after the deadline.
The Colts claimed linebacker Chad Muma off waivers on Wednesday and waived defensive tackle Tim Smith in a corresponding move, the team announced.
Though Daniel Jones may be the Colts' starting quarterback, Shane Steichen reminds Anthony Richardson he's a play away from seeing the field.
The Vikings are trading cornerback Mekhi Blackmon to the Colts in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
We're tracking every trade since the start of NFL training camps, including deals for Sam Howell, Brian Robinson Jr. and Mekhi Blackmon.
