The Indianapolis Colts have formally begun the tear down of their roster by shifting on from getting older veterans as they give the impression of being to construct the roster within the form that fits their new head coach, Shane Steichen.
The cornerback group is about to look lots completely different in 2023 after agreeing to commerce veteran Stephon Gilmore to the Dallas Cowboys.
The veteran nook was introduced in final offseason to assist shore up a protection for a playoff run and whereas he actually did his job, the remainder of the staff didn’t. The transfer is sensible to maneuver on from the 32-year-old who solely has one yr left on his contract with the franchise getting into a rebuilding yr.
This subtraction from the roster has created an enormous gap within the protection for Gus Bradley. The Colts will likely be lacking each of their 2022 opening day beginning outdoors corners with Gilmore headed to Dallas and Brandon Facyson heading to the Las Vegas Raiders as a free agent.

They nonetheless have Isaiah Rodgers Sr., who seems like he’s set to be one of many beginning outdoors corners, however the spot reverse of him is open for the taking. Dallis Flowers received some enjoying time within the place on the finish of the yr however I’d really feel fairly nervous if I used to be Bradley if there isn’t extra competitors introduced into the group.
Then, there’s the Kenny Moore II state of affairs. He’s within the last yr of his contract, wished a pay increase previous to the 2022 season, and it has been reported that the Colts may additionally probably commerce him this offseason. Will among the cap area created probably go to Moore II in an extension or does Chris Ballard additionally create a gap on the nickel nook spot by shifting him to a distinct staff?
As of now, that is what the cornerbacks seem like on the depth chart:
CB: Isaiah Rodgers Sr.
Nickel CB: Kenny Moore II

CB: ????
Backups: Dallis Flowers, Darrell Baker Jr., Kevin Toliver II, and David Vereen
I’d count on that Indianapolis will search for a veteran addition in free company and a Day 2 rookie so as to add to this group in any case. The following few weeks will decide if the cornerback place will stay a urgent want outdoors of quarterback for this roster.

INDIANAPOLIS — In the wake of a recent mass shooting on July 5, community leaders across Indianapolis are coming together to address youth violence and foster lasting relationships within neighborhoods.

“It’s important to show community, to show those relationships that we’re building and they come together in different ways in your neighborhood — downtown, east side, west side, north side. I go everywhere because we are one,” Debbie Patterson with Positive Impact Neighborhood.
Indianapolis Metro Police Department (IMPD) and city leaders acknowledge that they cannot tackle this issue alone. This weekend, they will join the Indianapolis TenPoint Coalition and dozens of other community leaders for a street walk through downtown Indianapolis, aiming to raise awareness and curb youth violence.
“Indianapolis’ own justice system is not doing the job. I think the police department is, but the rest of the equation is not being carried out,” said Gov. Braun.
This week, Governor Mike Braun (R) criticized the local justice system, stating that both prosecutor Ryan Mears and Mayor Joe Hogsett, (D) are failing to protect residents.

“Braun has never once told us what his plan or solution would be to teen gun violence,” Prosecutor Ryan Mears said.
In addition to the street walk, advocates will hold a community conversation on Saturday at the Great Commission Church of God from 3-5 p.m. Leaders say it will be focused on solutions and engagement, emphasizing that addressing violence is not a one-person problem, but a collective community challenge.
“I don’t want parents not to show up and then, when they have to show up, it’s unfortunately visiting their children behind bars,” Antonia Bailey, Survivor Advocate and Support Specialist for IMPD said.
All with the goal of sparking change long after this weekend.
“We just need to bring that hope back into their hearts, that sparkle back into their eyes to live and know they have something to live for,” Ashlynne Walker said.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis promises more than just elite basketball. With major players in tech, entertainment, and politics joining the celebration, the city is rolling out an immersive, citywide activation that reflects the rising momentum in women’s sports and culture.
Google is returning to WNBA Live for the third year in a row, bringing its largest All-Star activation to date. Its fan experience, located at the Indiana Convention Center and open to the public from July 18–19, showcases the power of Pixel devices and Google Search through an interactive journey that blends technology with fan engagement.
But Google’s is just one of dozens of activations happening in Indianapolis over the weekend, part of a larger civic push to position the city as a leader in women’s sports hospitality. From public art installations and fashion exhibits to drag brunches and comedy showcases, WNBA All-Star Weekend 2025 is shaping up to be a cultural moment as much as an athletic one.

At the airport, travelers arriving for the weekend will be greeted by a life-size basketball court installation in the civic plaza. More than 30 restaurants and bars across the city are offering WNBA-themed specials, and over 2,500 youth athletes are expected to participate in a Saturday morning dribble parade through the streets.
Fans are encouraged to participate in a citywide “Hoops Pass,” checking in at basketball-themed locations for a chance to win prizes, including WNBA merchandise and exclusive access to events.
