The Indianapolis Colts wasted little time addressing their secondary after Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans.
With star slot corner Kenny Moore II sidelined by a calf injury, the team has signed veteran cornerback Mike Hilton.

Colts bring in 13 INT cornerback
Hilton, 31, brings plenty of familiarity to Indianapolis. He spent the past four seasons with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in Cincinnati, where he thrived as a slot defender and helped the Bengals reach a Super Bowl.
In that span, Hilton recorded six interceptions, 24 pass breakups, and 283 tackles. Most recently, he was in training camp with the Miami Dolphins but was released in final roster cuts.
#Colts Pro Bowl DB Kenny Moore II suffered a calf injury in Sunday's win, and he's expected to miss a couple of weeks, source says. Not a major injury.

For depth, the team is signing veteran CB Mike Hilton to their practice squad.
Moore’s injury is not expected to land him on injured reserve, but he is projected to miss a couple of weeks.
That makes Hilton’s arrival crucial for a Colts team off to a 3-0 start and leading the AFC South. With upcoming matchups against the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, and Los Angeles Chargers, all containing strong receiving talent, Hilton will be counted on immediately to provide stability in the slot.
