Mike Hilton: Everything you need to know

The Colts placed Hilton (shoulder) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports. Hilton was elevated to the Colts' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, when he sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter and did not return. The injury is severe enough for the veteran corner to go on the practice squad IR, which mean's he'll have to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 10 against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 9 the earliest Hilton will be eligible to return.

Hilton is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a shoulder injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Hilton appeared to sustain the injury in the first quarter, and the veteran corner will be checked on by medical trainers to determine whether he can return. With Kenny Moore (Achilles) inactive, the Colts will turn to Mekhi Blackmon or Chris Lammons to work out of the slot corner for as long as Hilton is out of the game.

The Colts signed Hilton to the practice squad Tuesday. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com initially reported Monday that Hilton was set to sign with the Colts' 53-man roster, but the veteran corner will start out with the practice squad instead. Even so, Hilton should be elevated to the Colts' active roster for Week 4 against the Rams, as Kenny Moore is expected to be sidelined for multiple games due to a calf injury that he suffered during Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans. Hilton logged 73 tackles (50 solo) and five pass defenses (one interception) across 16 regular-season games for the Bengals in 2024.
