Colts consider Camryn Bynum for green dot communication role

Summary

The Indianapolis Colts are exploring the option of giving free safety Camryn Bynum the green dot on his helmet, which allows him to communicate directly with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Traditionally assigned to the middle linebacker, the role could shift to Bynum as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Anarumo noted that having a safety with experience in complex defenses might ease the responsibilities of younger linebackers like CJ Allen and Bryce Boettcher. No final decision has been made regarding who will wear the green dot in the season opener.
