Colts' Nick Cross: Stacks up 12 stops
Cross recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills.

An elite athlete who's just 23 years old in his third NFL season, Cross appears to have massive upside and big days ahead.

Colts' Nick Cross: Reaches double-digit tackles
Cross recorded 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Cross was able to beat out Rodney Thomas for the starting free safety job in training camp and proved why in Week 1. His 14 stops were a single-game career high and may put him on the IDP radar. It'll be worth monitoring his performance in the weeks ahead, starting with Week 2 against the Packers.

Colts' Nick Cross: Officially named Week 1 starter
Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said Tuesday that Cross will start at safety across from Julian Blackmon during Sunday's regular-season opener against the Texans, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Cross entered training camp as the favorite to earn a starting safety gig alongside Blackmon. He spent most of the 2023 campaign as a special-teams contributor before stepping up as a starter on defense during the final three games of the season. In those three contests, Cross averaged six tackles (three solo).

Colts' Nick Cross: Gets start at free safety
Cross started at free safety opposite Julian Blackmon at strong safety in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals, recording one solo tackle.
Cross entered training camp as the leader for the free safety job and it looks like he's still set to start opposite Blackmon at either position, as he was notably utilized at strong safety in Tuesday's practice with Blackmon at free safety, per the Indianapolis Star reports. Rodney Thomas and Ronnie Harrison Jr. could also figure into the mix as well, but it looks like Cross will get the starting nod after Thursday's game.

Colts' Nick Cross: Leader in safety competition
Cross remains the leader for the starting free safety job, but Rodney Thomas is getting an occasional look with the starters, and Ronnie Harrison Jr. is also getting some first-team reps in training camp, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Cross began last season playing mostly on special teams, but he stepped into a starting role for the final three games of the season due to an injury to Julian Blackmon and made a strong impression. Cross doesn't have the starting job wrapped up, however, as Thomas could still be a factor.

Colts' Nick Cross: Early lead in safety competition
Cross appears to have have the lead in Indanapolis' free safety competition so far during OTAs, Kevin Bowen of 1075thefan.com reports.
There is still a long way to go, to be sure, but Cross is getting more reps with the first team during OTAs. He is competing with Rodney Thomas and Daniel Scott (knee) for the opportunity to start alongside strong safety Julian Blackmon in the secondary. Cross started just two games in 2023, but he did suit up for 17 regular-season games. The 22-year-old finished the year with 39 tackles (24 solo).

Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said Wednesday that Cross will have an opportunity to earn the starting free safety job this season, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Cross will be competing with Rodney Thomas and Daniel Scott (knee) for the starting role alongside strong safety Julian Blackmon this season. The Maryland product saw more opportunities during his second NFL campaign in 2023, totaling 39 combined tackles and an interception.
