NFL Suspends Colts CB for Violating League’s Personal Conduct Policy
The Indianapolis Colts will be without one member of their secondary for their season opener vs the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13.
The Indianapolis Colts have suspended cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt for one game due to his violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. This news came to light shortly after training camp began. Taylor-Britt, who joined the Colts via a one-year deal this offseason, had previously spent four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals.
During his time with the Bengals, he amassed 203 tackles, two forced fumbles, seven interceptions, and 38 passes defended. The NFL's decision stems from Taylor-Britt's reckless driving arrest in Cincinnati last year, for which he agreed to a plea deal in January. Despite this setback, the Colts are fortunate to have two experienced All-Pro cornerbacks, Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward, who will be playing in Week 1.
Last season, the Colts ranked 31st in the NFL in passing defense, allowing an average of 247.9 yards per game and surrendering 24 touchdowns. They recorded 14 interceptions and had a passer rating against of 88.0.
