The Indianapolis Colts start training camp focusing on the left defensive end position, with Arden Key and Jaylahn Tuimoloau as the main contenders. Key, who signed a two-year deal after a solid season with the Titans, is viewed as the frontrunner. Conversely, Tuimoloau, last year’s second-round pick, aims for a breakout after a disappointing rookie season where he recorded no sacks. The outcome of this competition may determine the Colts' defensive strategy moving forward as they seek to rebuild after losing key players in the offseason.
