Colts Defense Getting Healthier Heading Towards Their Bye Week
The Indy defense has been the only question mark this team has had all season. It has been kind of bend don’t break in the matchups against high power offenses. First year defensive coordinator Lou Armnano has done a great job with what he has had to deal with on the injury front all Season. The team lost Jaylon Jones, Mooney Ward, and rookie sensation Justin Walley which are all cornerbacks. The team is also dealing with defensive end players being banged up as well.
The defense is still doing a great job at stopping offenses when they have to but getting some players back should help sure up the defensive side of the ball. All signs are pointing towards cornerback Jaylon Jones returning this week. With number one cornerback Mooney Ward still on IR it will be nice to have one of the original starting cornerbacks back on the gridiron for this team. This will help the defensive line as well with better coverage in the secondary the banged up defensive line should be able to get to get pressure on the quarterback.
