Colts Final 53-Man Roster Projection
Cornerbacks: Vontae Davis, Patrick Robinson, Antonio Cromartie, Darius Butler, Jalil Brown, Frankie Williams
Released: CB’s Tay Glover-Wright, Christopher Milton, Tevin Mitchel
Overview:
Pick an injury! Any Injury!
The Colts are ravaged at cornerback with injuries to both starters Vontae Davis and Patrick Robinson, as well as having key backups such as Darius Butler and Jalil Brown dinged up as well.
Veteran Antonio Cromartie was recently signed for depth, as well as presumably a pinch-starter, but the Colts could still use an additional cornerback for insurance.
Head coach Chuck Pagano has recently praised Purdue undrafted rookie cornerback Frankie Williams, who’s held his own as a nickel cornerback in preseason–rarely making mistakes and playing tight coverage. That type of scrappy cornerback could be useful until key Colts cornerbacks have fully recovered.
