Colts worked out WR Anthony Miller, 3 DBs

The Colts held a workout for four players.

The Indianapolis Colts held a tryout for one wide receiver and three defensive backs, according to the league’s transaction wire Monday.

Working out for the Colts included wide receiver Anthony Miller, cornerback Don Gardner, safety Myles Dorn and cornerback Cameron Brown.

The Colts may be looking for some depth in the secondary after losing starter Dallis Flowers to a torn Achilles in Week 4, which has forced rookie Jaylon Jones into the No. 3 cornerback role.

Miller, 29, was a second-round pick with the Chicago Bears in the 2018 NFL draft. In 50 career games (18 starts), Miller has 150 receptions for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns.

WATCH: Bucs CB Don Gardner makes diving INT vs. Titans

Watch Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Don Gardner make an acrobatic interception during Saturday night’s preseason game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven’t given their fans much to cheer about during Saturday night’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, but they finally got a big play from their defense early in the fourth quarter.

Rookie cornerback Don Gardner made an acrobatic interception on a deep ball from Titans quarterback Logan Woodside, diving for the ball and rolling underneath it on the way down to keep it off the ground.

The Bucs punted right back to the Titans on the following possession, but at least South Dakota State product gave Tampa Bay fans a little excitement.

Bucs activate CB Don Gardner from Physically Unable to Perform list

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have activated rookie cornerback Don Gardner from the Physically Unable to Perform list

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated rookie cornerback Don Gardner from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, the team announced Sunday.

Gardner, an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State, can now rejoin the Bucs in practice as they continue through training camp.

The last of Tampa Bay’s players to come off the PUP list, Gardner was already counted against the team’s 90-man roster, so the Bucs won’t need to make a corresponding move to activate him.

Lions check out draft sleeper RB, DBs at South Dakota State pro day

The Detroit Lions checked out a draft sleeper RB and a pair of very athletic DBs at South Dakota State pro day, with former Lions RB Zach Zenner in the house too

Pierre Strong put his name on the NFL draft map back at the scouting combine. The South Dakota State running back was the fastest RB in Indianapolis with a 4.37 40-yard dash.

Strong and his Jackrabbit teammates had their pro day last week, and the Detroit Lions were among the 20-something NFL teams in attendance in Brookings, South Dakota.

Strong is the headliner for the FCS program, but he’s not the only SDSU prospect who the Lions could have some interest in drafting or signing as a priority free agent. Safety Michael Griffin definitely grabbed attention with his workout. From Matt Zimmer of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader,

The 6-foot, 215-pound safety provided the first true ‘wow’ moment of the morning with a vertical leap that was so high it exceeded the limits of the measuring tool. When they extended the marker so Griffin could jump again, he reached a whopping 43.5 inches, drawing hoots and hollers from the players and coaches in attendance. His leap would have been the top jump at this year’s NFL Combine and among the top 10 in Combine history.

Later, Griffin ran a sub-4.5 40-yard dash (no official times were posted, every scout had their own stopwatch), and also impressed in the other skills.

Griffin doesn’t get projected as a draft pick often, but those athletic marks merit deeper attention. The same is true of CB Don Gardner, a physical 6-footer with impressive ball production and tackling skills. He turned in great games against Trey Lance and North Dakota State, as well as Northern Iowa,  a couple of seasons ago (the only times I’ve seen him).

Former Lions RB Zach Zenner was also there, though not representing the team. He’s now a player agent and returned to his alma mater to represent clients.
