Gus Bradley is returning to the Indianapolis Colts as defensive coordinator under new head coach Shane Steichen, ESPN reported Monday.
The move to retain Bradley had been expected.
Bradley, 56, is entering his second season as the defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. He held the same role with the Seattle Seahawks (2009-12) before spending four seasons as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also has served as the DC for the Los Angeles Chargers (2017-20) and Las Vegas Raiders (2021).
In 2022, the Colts’ defense was 15th in the NFL in total yardage, giving up 334.0 yards per game. Indianapolis gave up an average of 25.1 points per game, however, tied for third worst in the league.
The Colts finished last season at 4-12-1 under Frank Reich and interim coach Jeff Saturday.
