A workout in Indianapolis will take place, and a deal could be struck shortly thereafter. Per Schultz, a mutual interest exists for an agreement in this case.<\/p>\n<p>It would come as little surprise if Hilton were to wind up with the Colts. He has four years of experience working with\u00a0Lou Anarumo\u00a0dating back to their time together in Cincinnati. Anarumo was the Bengals\u2019 defensive coordinator during that span, and he is now at the helm of the Colts\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries in the secondary have been an issue for Indianapolis this offseason, so the prospect of additions well into the summer has been consistent.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HowaXa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-26_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xavien Howard<\/a>\u00a0is set to return to the NFL after sitting out the 2024 campaign. He too is a familiar face to Anarumo. As an illustration of the team\u2019s uncertain situation at the CB spot, Howard could <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2025\/08\/colts-xavien-howard-turned-aside-2024-offers-cb-on-track-for-starting-role\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">step into a starting role<\/a> despite only signing last week.<\/p>\n<p>Hilton, on the other hand, would not be expected to handle a first-team role if he joined the team. The 31-year-old has operated in the slot for much of his career, but the Colts already have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=MoorKe03,MoorKe00&amp;search=Kenny+Moore&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-26_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kenny Moore<\/a>\u00a0to handle those duties. Hilton could serve as a veteran backup option, though, as a veteran of 123 games. Hilton is free to sign at any time, and it will be interesting to see how tomorrow\u2019s workout goes. It could produce an agreement on the active roster of Indianapolis\u2019 initial practice squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Hilton\u00a0found himself amongst the Dolphins\u2019 roster cuts yesterday.
