"The 26-year-old is at his best as a deep safety as he ranks 18th in coverage grade by PFF. The Colts only signed him to a one-year deal last offseason, so it's possible that Pittsburgh could have an advantage by simply offering a multiyear contract."

With the Colts having waived Darren Hall from the 53-man roster in order to make room for Ryan Kelly who came off injured reserve this past week, the addition of Tutsie bolsters the team’s safety depth as they navigate practices throughout the week.

A spot in the playoffs remains possible in part because the Colts outlasted the Tennessee Titans, 38-30, last Sunday. Indy attempted only 11 passes but rushed for a franchise-record 355 yards. Jonathan Taylor led the attack with 218 yards rushing and 3 TDs.

On Christmas Eve, the NFL announced that the outstanding effort earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week. "AFC Players of the Week! (Week 16)," the NFL wrote on social media. Taylor was joined by Las Vegas Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Moa (Defensive) and Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders (Special Teams) as the players of the week from the AFC.

The Tennessee Titans visit the Indianapolis Colts in NFL Week 16 action on Dec. 22, 2024. Here are live score updates, stats and highlights.

In Week 16, the Colts will face backup quarterback Mason Rudolph and the Tennessee Titans. Rudolph is taking over for Will Levis after Levis was benched by head coach Brian Callahan against the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend.

Pete Prisco is picking the Colts to win by a touchdown. While others think that last week’s loss will rollover into this game against Tennessee, Prisco thinks the opposite, mentioning that the Colts defense did a lot of good things last week, resulting in a bounce-back win.
