Indianapolis Colts cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, who was signed as a free agent from the Cincinnati Bengals, will serve a one-game suspension for violating the the NFL’s personal conduct policy earlier this offseason.

He will miss the Colts regular season home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on September 13th, due to pleading guilty to reckless driving, while also driving without a license.

He previously served 5 days in jail after pleading guilty to the charges.

Originally a 2022 2nd round pick of the Bengals, the 26-year-old cornerback is coming off a season for Cincinnati in which he recorded 21 tackles (12 solo), a tackle for loss, and 5 passes defensed during 8 games (2 starts) in 2025, before suffering a season-ending Lisfranc injury.

This offseason, Taylor-Britt reunited with Colts veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who he played under with the Bengals defensively from 2022-24. So far, the early returns have been encouraging.

While it’s still relatively early in training camp, Taylor-Britt has currently been operating as the Colts’ CB4, and figures to be ‘the next man up’ on the outside if either Sauce Gardner or Charvarius Ward were to miss time due to an injury—which given the latter’s recent head injury history, could be an important distinction going forward.

At any rate, his suspension does not come at an opportune time (although would it ever?), as the Colts secondary will be tasked with slowing down 2x NFL MVP Lamar Jackson come Week 1 at home—and attempt to get off on the right foot at 1-0 to begin the 2026 campaign.
