Colts safety Trey Washington making case for 53-man roster spot

Trey Washington, a safety for the Indianapolis Colts, has shown significant improvement in his performance this preseason. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo praised Washington's consistency and smart play, noting his increased quickness and understanding of the defense. In two games, he has recorded eight tackles and allowed only one reception for eight yards, primarily playing free safety. Washington competes for a roster spot in a crowded safety group that has four players already secured, with a chance to stand out on special teams. Fellow safety Juanyeh Thomas is also in contention for a potential fifth spot on the depth chart. Washington signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft.
