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.

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.

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.
