The Indianapolis Colts made significant roster moves ahead of their first padded practice by signing defensive tackle Josh Tupou, who brings familiarity with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. This strategic decision aims to bolster their defensive front. However, the Colts also placed offensive tackle on the Injured Reserve, which raises concerns about their depth in the offensive line heading into the season.

The addition of Tupou could provide the Colts an edge, especially against the run. His experience under Anarumo means he could adapt quickly to the playbook, enhancing the Colts’ defensive strategies.
