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

    Cross had five total tackles and an interception in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Cross didn't pile up the tackle totals of his first three games (39 total tackles), but he came up with an interception. Cross should get plenty of tackle opportunities if the Indy defense continues to struggle against the run.

  • Reaches double-digit tackles

    Cross recorded 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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).

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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).

  • Part of competition at safety

    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.

    Analysis: 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. However, to earn the top job Cross will have to unseat Thomas, who started all 15 games for the Colts last season.

  • Impresses in Year 2

    Cross racked up 39 tackles (24 solo), two pass breakups and one interception across 17 regular-season games with the Colts in 2023.

    Analysis: Cross began his sophomore season playing mostly on special teams, but he increased his role on defense after Indianapolis' bye in Week 11, then stepped into a starting role for the final three games of the season due to an injury to Julian Blackmon (shoulder). Blackmon is now slated for free agency, so there's a possible path for Cross to take on a larger defensive role during the 2024 campaign, especially considering that he performed solidly in limited action in 2023.

  • Taking on starting role

    Cross will take over as a starting safety due to Julian Blackmon (shoulder) being moved to Indianapolis' injured reserve list, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Blackmon won't be eligible to come back until the week of the AFC Championship at the earliest, so Cross will likely start for the Colts from here on out. In 55 snaps Sunday at Atlanta, he recorded five tackles (four solo).

  • Limited to special teams

    Cross had two tackles while limited to special teams in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Cross played 18 snaps on special teams but didn't play on defense. He'll be a depth safety and special teams player barring injuries in the secondary.

  • Loses starting role

    Cross played just one snap on defense and five snaps on special teams in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Cross, a third-round 2022 draft pick, began the season as the starter at strong safety and played on every defensive snap Week 1. However, he was replaced by Rodney McLeod as a starter. It looks like Cross may be stuck on the bench while being developed. However, he could be more of a factor Week 4 if Julian Blackmon missed time with a sprained ankle.

  • Starts at strong safety

    Cross started at strong safety and had four tackles in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.

    Analysis: Cross, a third-round 2022 draft pick, was thrust into a larger role after the surprise retirement of Khari Willis. He held his own in pass coverage, as he allowed all three passes thrown his way to be completed but gave up just 18 total yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

  • Listed as No. 1 strong safety

    Cross is listed as the No. 1 strong safety on the Colts' first depth chart of the preseason.

    Analysis: Cross, a third-round 2022 draft pick, has been thrust into a larger role after the surprise retirement of Khari Willis. He's been splitting first-team work with Rodney McLeod, but by all accounts is having a strong camp and looks like the favorite to begin the regular season starting opposite Julian Blackmon.
