Colts preview Tim Smith's role amid competition at DT position
Summary

As training camp approaches, the Indianapolis Colts assess defensive tackle Tim Smith's standing on their roster. Smith, a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, spent last season on the practice squad after being released during roster cutdowns. In 2026, he faces stiff competition for a spot, with established players and offseason acquisitions vying for limited roster positions. The Colts signed Jerry Tillery and Derrick Nnadi, further complicating Smith's bid. His development will be closely monitored as camp begins.
