Amid Mike Hilton's acquisition, the Colts will be without Kenny Moore for a couple of weeks

NFL insider Ian Rapoport shared an injury update on Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore on Monday. The player is said to have avoided a major injury, but will be sidelined for a couple of weeks.

#Colts Pro Bowl DB Kenny Moore II suffered a calf injury in Sunday's win, and he's expected to miss a couple of weeks, source says. Not a major injury. For depth, the team is signing veteran CB Mike Hilton to their practice squad,” Rapoport wrote on X.

Moore stands out as one of the Colts' top defensive talents and a cornerstone of Lou Anarumo's defensive strategy. His absence will require the team to make adjustments for their upcoming game against the LA Rams at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in Week 4, as Mike Hilton comes in.

The Indianapolis Colts’ defense appears to be on the route to redemption under the leadership of Anarumo. They will look to keep up the momentum in the absence of Kenny Moore.
