The Indianapolis Colts are reviewing their 90-man roster ahead of training camp, focusing next on defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. Nnadi, who signed a one-year contract worth $1.487 million, brings experience from eight seasons in Kansas City, contributing primarily as a run-stuffer. Despite his background with multiple Super Bowl teams, Nnadi's role with the Colts isn't guaranteed, as he competes with Jerry Tillery for a potential final roster spot. The Colts need to balance between run support and pass rush capabilities in their roster decisions.
