Colts' Nick Cross: Returns to practice Thursday
Cross (shoulder) logged a full practice session Thursday.
Cross sat out Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but his return to full participation one day later suggests that the issue was minor. With that in mind, Cross should be good to take on his usual starting safety role Sunday against the Steelers.

Colts' Nick Cross: Working through shoulder injury
Cross (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
Cross may have sustained the injury during the Colts' 38-14 win over the Titans in Week 8, when he logged just three tackles (two solo) while playing 80 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps. He has two more opportunities to participate in practice this week, and he would not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers if he were to log a full practice.

Colts' Nick Cross: Just three tackles vs. Tennessee
Cross recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Cross' three stops during Sunday's win marked his lowest total of the season. He also played just 80 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps, but that's likely a result of the second-half blowout. Through the team's first eight games this season, Cross has tallied 56 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and three passes defended, with one interception. He'll look to return to his usual tackling form in the Week 9 matchup against the Steelers.

Colts' Nick Cross: Picks off Herbert in Week 7 win
Cross logged six solo tackles and an interception during the Colts' 38-24 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Cross stopped a Chargers' red-zone possession in its tracks late in the second quarter after picking off a Justin Herbert pass intended for Quentin Johnston, and Daniel Jones capitalized on the turnover by leading the Colts' offense on a nine-play drive that resulted in a 36-yard field goal from Michael Badgley. It was Cross's first interception of the 2025 regular season and the fifth of his four-year NFL career. The 2022 third-rounder is up to 53 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three pass defenses through the first seven games of the regular season.

Colts' Nick Cross: Produces five stops in Week 6
Cross finished Sunday's 31-27 win over Arizona with five tackles (four solo).
One of Cross's tackles went for a loss, as he brought down RB Michael Carter in the backfield on the final play of the first quarter. The five total stops were the fewest of the campaign so far for Cross, which highlights how productive he's been. Cross has 47 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through six games this season.

The safety has now registered 41 total tackles (23 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed over five games this year.

Colts' Nick Cross: Collects seven tackles in win
Cross recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 41-20 win at Tennessee.
Cross played 61 of the Colts' 65 defensive snaps in Week 3, and he turned in another good performance, tying for the team lead in tackles. He's well on his way to another 100-tackle season through three games, keeping him solidly on the IDP radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Rams.

Colts' Nick Cross: Six tackles and sack in opener
Cross had six total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over Miami.
Cross started at safety opposite Camryn Bynum and played on 38 of the defense's 47 snaps. After recording just one sack in his previous three seasons, Cross' use on a blitz could be a good sign for his fantasy value. He had just six tackles, but the Indy defense was barely on the field in a blowout win.
