According to the IndyStar’s Joel A. Erickson, the Indianapolis Colts tried out a pair of defensive backs on Tuesday: Grant Haley and D.J. Hayden:

Regarding Haley, he was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Giants in 2018 and also has had an NFL stint with the New Orleans Saints (2020).
The 5’9”, 190 pound cornerback (with 29 3/4” arms) has 82 tackles (70 solo), 7 tackles for loss, a sack, an interception, and 3 passes defended during 25 career games (12 starts).
Meanwhile, Hayden was a former 2013 first round pick of the Oakland Raiders, but has had subsequent pro stints with the Detroit Lions (2017) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2018-20).
The 5’11”, 190 pound veteran cornerback (with 31 1/8” arms) has 328 tackles (282 solo), 15 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 4 interceptions, 46 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries in 91 career games (41 starts).
With the Colts having already worked out cornerback Greg Stroman on Monday, it looks as though Indianapolis could be in the market for some additional secondary depth.
