Colts Work Out Five Defensive Ends, Including Former All-Pro

Colts Work Out Five Defensive Ends, Including Former All-Pro


The Indianapolis Colts worked out six new defensive players following Samson Ebukam’s (MCL) and Tyquan Lewis’ (groin) injuries.

It’s worth noting that Seth Coleman was signed to the practice squad.

Here is a brief breakdown of each player and what they could bring to the Colts.

Deslin Alexandre

Deslin Alexandre has no NFL statistics, but played for five years with the Pittsburgh Panthers. Colts defensive line coach, Charlie Partridge, was with the Panthers while Alexandre was there, so the familiarity makes sense.

Alexandre has been with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, and now hopes his workout with Indianapolis will give him another shot to make an impact in the NFL.

Shaquil Barrett

Shaquil Barrett is the most experienced and successful of the five defenders worked out. Barrett has logged two Pro Bowls, a Second Team All-Pro, and won two Super Bowls in his NFL career (Denver Broncos – 2015, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 2020).

Barrett also led the NFL in sacks during the 2019 season with 19.5 and has 59.0 in 132 games. While Barrett has slowed down after playing 10 years in the pros, he can still provide depth and veteran help for a defensive end-needy team like the Colts.

Jasheen Davis went undrafted out of the University of Wake Forest this year, but was picked up by the New Orleans Saints before getting waived on August 25th. Davis played well in college through 49 games, logging 25.5 sacks and 152 tackles.

Davis is still finding his footing in the NFL, and given how badly the Colts need defensive edge help after key injuries to Ebukam and Lewis, he has a big shot to make an impression and potentially earn a spot in the Colts’ ranks.

DJ Johnson

DJ Johnson has played in the NFL for three seasons, all with the Carolina Panthers, before being released by the NFC South squad on September 30th. Throughout 31 games and five starts, Johnson has put up 62 tackles and four tackles for loss.

Johnson’s experience on the field was as recent as a few weeks ago, meaning his workout might be the smoothest in operation. It will be interesting to see if Johnson did enough to warrant a spot to help Indy with their edge depth.

Benton Whitley

Benton Whitley played college football at Holy Cross, and was good enough to earn a spot with the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad in 2022. After that stint, he had stops with the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Arizona Cardinals.

Whitley doesn’t have a lot of in-game experience in the NFL, but he has a golden opportunity with the slew of injuries to Lou Anarumo’s defense to make an impact in the Circle City.

Pacers rookie Kam Jones arrested after police chase on I-65


INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers rookie guard Kameron “Kam” Jones has been arrested and booked into jail after police say he was driving recklessly and started a police chase on I-65.

Jones, a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, was booked into the Marion County Jail on Monday morning and preliminarily charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and felony resisting arrest.

Indiana State Police said a trooper tried around 10 a.m. to pull over a car that was “very erratic” and driving recklessly on Interstate 65. A chase reportedly began near the I-65 North Split and ended near the Fletcher Avenue exit, where the driver was identified as Jones.

Online jail records show Jones is currently being held in the Marion County Adult Processing Center and that a bond has not been set as of 1 p.m.

The 23-year-old out of Marquette was selected 38th overall by the Spurs in June before being traded to Indiana. The Pacers signed Jones to a four-year contract in early July, but he has yet to make his NBA debut while dealing with a reported back injury.

The Pacers acknowledged Jones’ arrest in a statement sent Monday afternoon to FOX59/CBS4:

“We are aware of the situation involving Kam Jones. We are in the process of gathering additional information and will not have any additional comment on the matter at this time.”

If convicted of resisting law enforcement, a level 6 felony, Jones could be sentenced to up to 2.5 years in jail and fined up to $10,000.
