Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds is not expected to be hired by the Detroit Lions to be their general manager as they are expected to hire Brad Holmes, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Dodds was interviewed by the Lions for their vacant general manager position on Tuesday, but it appears he will be staying in Indy. He also interviewed for the same role with the Carolina Panthers but ultimately withdrew his name from the running.

Dodds has been with the Colts since Chris Ballard took over as general manager in 2017. He was promoted to assistant general manager in 2018 and has been Ballard’s right-hand man ever since.

Dodds has been an integral part of the roster-building process for the Colts over the last few years and it appears, for now, he will be staying in Indy.
