Moore forced a fumble on Tagovailoa that Indy capitalized on; Xavien Howard recovered, swinging the play in the Colts’ favor.

Moore II is named captain, contributing veteran leadership in the secondary. His coverage and communication will be key against Miami’s receiving corps, especially on perimeter routes and take-away opportunities Week 1.

Moore III (Moore II in list) anchors the slot, with Howard and Ward outside, creating a versatile trio. Moore’s savvy zone-read instincts and consistency complement the boundary talent, helping Indy’s defense sustain tighter windows and limit cross-field plays that test the middle of the field.

Moore II returned to practice after knee concern, bolstering Indianapolis' secondary and potentially increasing the team's perimeter and nickel coverage options. His veteran presence matters against a schedule that features multiple pass-heavy offenses early in the season, and his involvement could influence who sees first-team snaps when healthy.
