The Indianapolis Colts worked out defensive end Eric Watts as they address injuries on their defensive line. Micheal Clemons is on injured reserve, and Arden Key is expected to miss time due to a hamstring injury. In Key's absence, Jaylahn Tuimoloau is likely to fill a starting role, with rookies Caden Curry and George Gumbs taking on larger responsibilities. Watts, who went undrafted in 2024, played two seasons with the New York Jets, contributing 23 tackles and six quarterback pressures during that time. The team continues to look for depth at the position.
