After the Indianapolis Colts waived Marcel Dabo, what does the safety depth chart now look like?
Dabo had been on the Colts' practice squad the last three seasons as an International Pathway Player (IPP).
As a designated IPP, Dabo received an exemption to be on the practice squad, which allowed the Colts to carry 17 players instead of the usual 16. However, he was not eligible to be added to the 53-man roster at any point or elevated on gameday. This was strictly a developmental role.
During his tenure, Dabo did not play any regular-season snaps. In the preseason, he played 114 on defense, according to PFF, making six tackles.
Dabo once again received the IPP designation for the 2025 season prior to his release.
So, moving on from Dabo may not impact the 53-man roster, but it further highlights the overall lack of depth at this position group.
While we know that Cam Bynum and Nick Cross will be the starters, behind them are Rodney Thomas, Daniel Scott, who has missed his first two NFL seasons due to injuries, and potentially Hunter Wohler, if the Colts don't keep him at linebacker.
With only four--or maybe five--safeties on the roster, an addition prior to training camp to at least boost the numbers very well could be in play.

Report: Patriots have no plans to release Stefon Diggs
The Patriots have no plans to release wide receiver Stefon Diggs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. Former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak, who calls Patriots games on the radio, said last week that Diggs' release was 'on the table' for the team. The uncertainty about the four-time Pro Bowler's future began when a viral video showed Diggs providing a baggie of pink powder to two women on a boat. Diggs was back with the Patriots at the team's organized team activities Monday. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in an Oct. 27 game against the Colts while playing for the Texans. The Patriots still signed Diggs to a three-year, $69 million deal this offseason. Diggs, 31, had six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons before playing only eight games last season.

Who did Indianapolis Colts pick in PFF's 2010 NFL redraft?
Who did Indianapolis Colts pick in PFF's 2010 NFL redraft? In PFF's 2010 NFL redraft, who did the Indianapolis Colts end up picking this time? Using hindsight and their grading system, Pro Football Focus has redrafted the first round of the 2010 NFL draft. So, who did the Indianapolis Colts come away with this time? Following a Super Bowl loss in 2009, the Colts held the 31st overall pick in this draft and originally selected TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes. But this time, PFF had the Colts picking safety Kareem Jackson, who originally was taken at 20th overall in the actual 2010 draft by Houston, but he was now available in this redraft. "Jackson took a year or two to find his footing in the NFL, but from 2012 through 2020, he recorded an 87.3 PFF overall grade and an elite 90.0 PFF coverage grade with Houston and Denver," wrote PFF. Jackson has had a long NFL career, still appearing in two games last season with the Buffalo Bills. He's appeared in 205 games over his 15 NFL seasons, which includes 193 starts. Jackson has had good ball production in his career, which includes generating 18 interceptions in his first 10 seasons, along with 98 pass deflections during that span, with five seasons where he recorded at least 10. Jackson has also had seven seasons where he's made at least 70 tackles. Hughes, the Colts' original pick, ended up going 21st overall to the Bengals in PFF's redraft. Hughes spent three seasons with the Colts before being traded to Buffalo prior to Year 4. With Indianapolis, he appeared in 40 games and made seven starts, recording five sacks, 62 tackles, and eight tackles for loss. Hughes was still playing in 2024, appearing in seven games with the Texans. For his career, he's played in 225 games, making 152 starts, while totaling 70 sacks and 484 tackles. "Hughes didn't get to play much during his short time in Indianapolis, but his career really took off after he was traded to Buffalo," PFF wrote. "He spent nine seasons there and recorded a 90.2 PFF pass-rush grade. He is also the only Bills defensive lineman in PFF history to record a 90.0-plus single-season PFF pass-rush grade, having done so in 2018."

Granada Hills finally breaks through to beat Carson for City Section softball title
Addison Moorman could finally breathe. The senior pitcher couldn't hold her emotions back. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she embraced her teammates on Cal State Northridge's softball diamond. A year ago, she struck out 19 batters — only to fall short 1-0 in f14 innings. Two years previous, Granada Hills was one run away from City Section glory. On Saturday in Northridge, so close to home, the City Section Open Division title, the program's first since 1981, was Moorman's — and the Highlanders — to celebrate in an 11-2 drubbing of archrival Carson. Moorman put the team on her back, striking out 11 while giving up just four hits and two earned runs across her complete-game performance. 'It feels so good to go out on top, especially against [Carson],' said Moorman, who signed with Lehigh in November. 'To finally beat them, overcome that hurdle and then leave as a champion, feels really great.' Carson held a 1-0 lead early in the game when Atiana Rodriguez and Letu'u Simi combined for back-to-back doubles in the second inning, but from the bottom of the second onward, it was all Granada Hills at the plate. The Highlanders capitalized off of two Colts errors in the second inning. Second baseman Lainey Brown and right fielder Elysse Diaz singled home runs, while Giselle Merida tripled to bring home another. 'I've been waiting,' said Diaz who went two for four with two RBIs and a double. 'It was just boiling and boiling and then here, [the offense] just exploded.' By the time Moorman returned to the circle for her third inning of work, Granada Hills had scored seven runs on six hits against Carson pitcher Giselle Pantoja — who shut the Highlanders down in 2024 — building a cushion for its star pitcher to go out and do what she'd done all season: dominate. ''Every time a pitcher always feels that burden of carrying the team, and [Moorman] dealt with it well,' said Granada Hills coach Ivan Garcia. 'Her character is greater than her talent, the way she handles her teammates, the way she leads by example. I mean, you wouldn't know that she's a star pitcher, the way she puts bases away, the way she cleans up.' Moorman made just one big mistake on Saturday — leaving a pitch over the plate to Colts center fielder Rylee Gardner, who desposited the ball over the center-field wall for a solo home run (her eighth of the year) in the sixth inning. Otherwise, Moorman kept Carson off balance all game. She set down 13 consecutive batters between the second and sixth innings, striking out her 11th batter of the game as the penultimate at-bat of her high school career. For Moorman, winning a CIF title just 10 minutes away from Granada Hills High, was a moment worth savoring, she said. For Garcia — who said he was happy to see his team goofing off and having fun at a pregame lunch, loosening up before the biggest game of his coaching career — he is looking forward to the 1981 title of the past no longer lurking around his shoulders. 'Third time's the charm,' he said. Earlier in the day in Northridge, Taft won its first City Section title in the softball program's history with an 8-3 victory over Marquez in the Division II final. Legacy made no doubt of its City Section Division I title triumph later Saturday afternoon, shutting out Port of Los Angeles 5-0.
