The Colts worked out seven players ahead of their Week 3 matchup vs. the Tennessee Titans. Six of which were CBs, which tells us they are self aware to the fact that they need more playable options at CB going forward. The final player, interestingly enough, was a center. Of the group of CBs worked out by the Colts, two stand out to me. The first being former Dolphins CB Nik Needham, who has appeared in 63 games in his career and has logged 27 starts. Needham has solid size at the position at 6-1 and is still only 28, so it could make sense as an addition for the Colts. The other is Tre Flowers, who spent a game with the Colts last season. Flowers was drafted in the fifth round by the Seattle Seahawks and has spent time at CB and safety during his career. He’s appeared in nearly 100 games in the NFL and logged 44 starts, and at 6-3, would add tremendous size to the Colts’ CB room. The Colts still have an open spot on their roster since placing Jaylon Jones on IR, so if they choose to add someone from this tryout or another free agent CB, they wouldn’t necessarily have to release Howard. His showing on Sunday, though, made it clear they need options they can trust to go to if he struggles again.
