The bad news is that Kenny Moore II<\/a> is instrumental to Indy\u2019s success defensively. He\u2019ll be sorely missed by defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo<\/a> and Colts fans alike as his versatility in the backend allows the defense to be even more multiple than normal. The good news, however, is that it seems like Moore II will miss the Injured Reserve altogether, given that it is \u201cNot a major injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore II is fresh off a game in which he notched his fourth career pick-six while simultaneously securing his sixth INT against the Titans in seventeen games played. Not only is he coming off a great game, but he\u2019s also had a strong start overall. It\u2019s tough to see him go down at all, but at least reports suggest that he\u2019s dodged a bullet.<\/p>\n

Throughout this past offseason, Hilton had been waiting in the wings for the perfect opportunity to present itself. The 31-year-old\u2019s contract with the Bengals was up, and his defensive coordinator had just been shoved out the door. Hilton has been awaiting that ideal scenario all summer long, and even visited Indianapolis for a workout<\/a> back in late August. Fast-forward to a month later, and Hilton has been signed to Indy\u2019s practice squad and is expected to be elevated for gameday.<\/p>\n

This ideal replacement, while not on the same tier as Moore II, should serve as the perfect insurance while he works back from injury. Hilton is an accomplished veteran, logging 13 INTs and 66 TFLs across his 8 seasons in the NFL. In 2024, Hilton had 1 INT, 5 passes defended, and 12 TFLs in 10 games started. Clearly, there\u2019s still some tread left on his tires, especially when you envision what reuniting him with Anarumo could do.<\/p>\n

When in Cincinnati, Anarumo utilized Hilton in the exact same way that he\u2019s used Kenny Moore II thus far. So while the same production may not be there, the drop-off in schematic understanding will be virtually nonexistent. There\u2019s no way to shake the loss of Kenny Moore II as a positive, but at least the two best possible factors are playing out: it\u2019s not a major injury, and his replacement won\u2019t be a complete liability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bad news is that Kenny Moore II is instrumental to Indy\u2019s success defensively.
