Indianapolis waived Flowers on Monday. Flowers played 14 defensive snaps during Sunday's 37-34 loss at Jacksonville, but now the Colts have decided to part ways with him. He'll become a free agent if he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period.
Flowers (leg) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Flowers exited Indianapolis' win over the Bears in Week 3 due to a leg issue, but he now appears back to full health. With Kenny Moore (hip) and Chris Lammons (knee/ankle) both not practicing Wednesday, Flowers' availability could be key for the Colts secondary during Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Flowers left Sunday's win over Chicago with an apparent right leg injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had five total tackles before departing. Flowers hurt his right leg while making a tackle late in the game and did not return. He was able to walk off the field under his own power. The Colts could be thin in the secondary with both Flowers and Kenny Moore suffering injuries late in the win.
Flowers is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston. Flowers was one of the Colts' top cornerbacks in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 4, but was healthy at the start of training camp. He then had a hamstring issue but wasn't on the injury report last week as he participated in practice. It's hard to tell if the Colts are just easing Flowers into action or if he's fallen down the depth chart after some struggles in the preseason.
Flowers (Achilles) was spotted participating in Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports. Flowers was one of the Colts' top cornerbacks in 2023 before tearing his Achilles in Week 4, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Now that Flowers is back at full health, he's expected to compete for another starting role in Indianapolis' secondary ahead of the team's 2024 campaign.
Flowers (Achilles) expects to be ready for the start of the 2024 season, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Flowers began the 2023 season as a starting corner for the Colts and tallied 15 total tackles and three passes defensed before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 4. He should have the chance to maintain a significant role as an outside corner, opposite Juju Brents with Kenny Moore covering the slot.
