MARCH 17 • COLTS.COM

Coming to Indianapolis Tillery and the Colts agreed to terms on a contract Tuesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran defensive tackle from Notre Dame is now headed to Indianapolis following a one-year stint with the Chiefs. Across 17 contests in 2025, Tillery logged 374 defensive snaps and tallied 20 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Now with the Colts, he's expected to compete for a reserve role on the team's defensive line throughout the summer.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Reliable on one-year deal Tillery finished the 2025 season with 20 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and added a fumble recovery over 17 games.

Impact Tillery was a reliable depth defensive tackle, playing 17 percent to 52 percent of defensive snaps per game throughout the entire 2025 season. The 29-year-old has been a Charger, Raider, Viking, and Chief throughout his tenure in the NFL, and 2026 could mark a return to one of those franchises or a new destination entirely for the lineman heading into his ninth season.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for season finale Tillery (personal) is active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Tillery was dealing with a personal matter Friday, missing the team's final practice of the week, but he'll now be good to go for Week 18. The 29-year-old will operate in his typical role as a top reserve option behind Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi at defensive tackle versus Las Vegas.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with personal issue Tillery (personal) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Tillery was a fresh addition to Friday's injury report and did not participate in practice due to a personal issue he was attending to. It is unclear whether or not this issue will be resolved in time for Sunday's contest. If the 29-year-old's circumstances prevent him from suiting up, Mike Pennel and Zacch Pickens will likely see an increased number of rotational snaps at defensive tackle behind starters Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi.
