The Indianapolis Colts are doing their homework as they continue to evaluate depth options late in the season, hosting a group of seven players for workouts, according to the NFL’s official transaction wire. Among the names brought in: a mix of young prospects and seasoned veterans, including offensive tackle Cameron Fleming, who brings a wealth of experience to the table.
Here’s the full list of players who worked out for the Colts:
- DB Rob Carter
- LB Aaron Casey
- OT Cameron Fleming
- G LaDarius Henderson
- G Bill Murray
- DB Derek Slywka
- LB Deven Veresuk
While several of these names are lesser-known or developmental prospects, Fleming stands out as the most experienced of the bunch - and for good reason. He’s been around the league for over a decade, carving out a career as a reliable swing tackle and spot starter.
Fleming, now 33, entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2014. After being waived early in the 2015 season, he bounced back by landing on the Patriots’ practice squad and was promoted to the active roster not long after. That resilience helped him stick around in Foxborough, where he earned a one-year deal worth nearly $1.8 million for the 2017 season.
From there, Fleming’s journey took him to Dallas, where he signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal in 2018. The Cowboys liked what they saw enough to bring him back on a two-year, $8.5 million contract - though they ultimately declined the option for 2020.
Since then, Fleming has become a bit of a journeyman, spending a year with the Giants before settling in with the Broncos for a four-year stretch - albeit on a series of one-year deals. In 2024, he appeared in just one game for Denver, but his veteran presence and versatility still make him an intriguing option for teams looking to shore up their offensive line depth.
For the Colts, bringing in a player like Fleming suggests they’re at least exploring the idea of adding an experienced tackle who can step in if needed - whether as injury insurance or to bolster competition in the trenches. With the playoff picture still unsettled and every roster spot carrying weight, it’s no surprise Indianapolis is leaving no stone unturned.
As for the other players brought in, it’s a mix of defensive backs, linebackers, and interior linemen - a clear sign the Colts are evaluating multiple position groups, likely looking for practice squad candidates or potential late-season call-ups. Whether any of these workouts lead to signings remains to be seen, but this is the time of year when depth can make all the difference.
