- Cam Taylor-Britt was suspended one game by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy and will miss the Colts' Week 1 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
- Taylor-Britt served a five-day jail sentence in January after pleading guilty to reckless driving and an unclassified no-license charge, stemming from a September 2025 incident in which a Cincinnati police officer said he was driving recklessly following a Bengals game while pedestrians were still in the area.
- Taylor-Britt's 2025 season ended after a Lisfranc injury sustained in the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with just two starts in eight games before the setback.
- The 60th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Taylor-Britt posted a career-high four interceptions in 2023 and three in 2024 as a fixture of the Bengals' secondary.
- Lou Anarumo, the Bengals' defensive coordinator during Taylor-Britt's first three seasons in Cincinnati, is now the Colts' defensive coordinator; in his first Indianapolis campaign the defense ranked 21st in points allowed, 31st in passing yards allowed, and 7th in rushing yards allowed.
Why it matters: Taylor-Britt, 26, sits out his Indianapolis debut and his first game under a new one-year deal because the league held him accountable for conduct he already pleaded guilty to and served jail time for in January — a reminder that a prior plea can still trigger league discipline, and that the Colts are leaning on a reunion with Anarumo to maximize a cornerback whose 2025 was derailed by both legal trouble and a Lisfranc injury.
