Colts worked out four LBs

Colts worked out four LBs, including a former third-round pick.

The Indianapolis Colts held a tryout for four linebackers, per the league’s transaction wire Saturday.

The four linebackers included Aaron Hansford, Justin Hilliard, Dorian O’Daniel and Kadofi Wright.

The Colts showed interest in Hansford before the 2022 NFL draft. Hilliard spent some time with the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants and is suspended for the first two games of the season after violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.

O’Daniel was a third-round pick with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2018 NFL draft. He has appeared in 58 games (one start) while spending the majority of his time on special teams.

Wright was an undrafted free agent out of Buffalo who signed with the Denver Broncos.

Broncos sign OT Cam Fleming, cut LB Kadofi Wright

With Billy Turner on the PUP list, the Broncos brought in Cam Fleming to add more depth at right tackle.

The Denver Broncos are bringing back veteran offensive tackle Cam Fleming, the team announced Wednesday morning. Fleming’s returning on a one-year contract.

Fleming (6-6, 326 pounds) signed a one-year deal with the Broncos last spring after the team lost starting right tackle Ja’Wuan James to a season-ending injury. Fleming competed for the starting job last summer but failed to beat out Bobby Massie.

Though he began the season as a backup, Fleming did end up starting in four games as an injury fill-in last year. He was penalized one time and allowed a half sack in those four appearances, according to STATS.

Massie became a free agent this spring and Denver opted to not re-sign him. Instead, the Broncos signed veterans Billy Turner and Tom Compton and re-signed Calvin Anderson. Those three players were set to compete for the right tackle job this summer, but Turner is still recovering from a knee injury so he’s currently on the physically unable to perform list.

With Turner unavailable, Denver is bringing back Fleming to add more depth and competition at the position.

To make room for Fleming on the 90-man offseason roster, the Broncos waived undrafted rookie linebacker Kadofi Wright.

Before the draft, Broncos general manager George Paton noted that this year’s UDFA class is deeper than usual because of COVID-19 extending college careers for many prospects.

“[The] free agent class will be a lot deeper,” Paton said last Friday. “Last year’s free agent class, I mean, we were done in about five minutes. … It just wasn’t as deep, so I expect there to be a deeper class in the later rounds and college free agency.”

Last year’s UDFA class included outside linebacker Andre Mintze, who is now a key special teams player for Denver.
