Colts linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither to wear helmet transmitter in Week 2
Summary

The Indianapolis Colts will have linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither wear the helmet transmitter during their Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. This decision follows the team's 41-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where communication errors contributed to a lackluster defensive performance. Head coach Shane Steichen announced that Davis-Gaither, who played 94% of snaps in the opener, will take over the green dot from safety Cam Bynum. The switch aims to improve on-field communication and coordinate defensive calls more effectively.
