Colts announce Xavien Howard signing, place Blake Freeland on IR
Cornerback Xavien Howard is officially a member of the Colts. The team announced Howard's signing on Monday afternoon. Howard did not play at all in 2024 after being released by the Dolphins, but was an All-Pro and went to multiple Pro Bowls during his time in Miami. Howard joins the Colts during a month that has featured plenty of injury issues at corner. Third-round pick Justin Walley is out for the year with a torn ACL and the team has had to work without JuJu Brents, Jaylon Jones, Kenny Moore II, and Johnathan Edwards at points in camp. The Colts also announced that they have placed offensive tackle Blake Freeland on injured reserve. Freeland fractured his leg against the Packers over the weekend. Linebacker Jacob Phillips and safety Hunter Wohler also went on injured reserve while linebackers Jake Chaney and Joseph Vaughn have been signed to the active roster.

Xavien Howard's agent says 4-time Pro Bowler signing with the Colts
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard is signing with the Indianapolis Colts, his agent David Canter announced Monday in a social media post. Colts officials have not yet made an announcement. The 32-year-old Howard was cut by the Miami Dolphins in February 2024 and did not play last year after suffering multiple injuries leading up to his release. Indy believes Howard can make an impact, though, because of his previous history with Lou Anarumo, the Colts new defensive coordinator. Anarumo coached Miami's defensive backs in 2016 and 2017 — Howard's first two seasons in the league. Indy was seeking help in the secondary because of injuries. Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II has missed time with an injured knee and another starter, Jaylon Jones, was taken off the practice field after hurting his hamstring. Rooke cornerback Justin Walley, a third-round draft pick, also was competing for a starting job until suffering a season-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament before the preseason opener. And cornerback JuJu Brents is out with a hamstring injury. Howard led the NFL interceptions twice during his career — picking off seven passes in 2018 and adding 10 more in 2020. He has 29 interceptions, including two he returned for scores, and 331 tackles in 100 games over eight NFL seasons. ___ AP NFL: Michael Marot, The Associated Press
