What's Happening?
The Indianapolis Colts are set to hold a workout with nickel cornerback Mike Hilton, who has previous ties with the team's first-year defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Hilton, known for his time with the Bengals, is being considered as part of Anarumo's ongoing efforts to revamp the Colts' secondary. This move follows a series of changes Anarumo has made since joining the Colts, including the addition of several defensive backs such as Charvarius Ward and Xavien Howard. Hilton's familiarity with Anarumo's defensive schemes could provide the Colts with more flexibility in their defensive strategies.

Why It's Important?
The potential addition of Mike Hilton to the Colts' roster could significantly impact the team's defensive capabilities. Hilton's experience and familiarity with Anarumo's system may enhance the Colts' ability to execute complex defensive plays, potentially improving their performance from last season. This move reflects the Colts' commitment to strengthening their defense, which was one of the weakest in the league last year. The decision to bring in Hilton could also influence the dynamics within the team, particularly in the cornerback room, which has already seen substantial turnover.
What's Next?
If Hilton is signed, he will likely integrate into the Colts' defensive lineup, providing Anarumo with more options for presnap looks and personnel packages. The Colts will continue to evaluate their defensive roster as they prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to rebound from their previous defensive struggles. The team's management and coaching staff will monitor Hilton's performance closely to assess his impact on the overall defensive strategy.
