INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts began their expected defensive line revamp Monday by hiring Marion Hobby as their defensive line coach and Kalon Humphries as assistant defensive line coach.

Hobby replaces Charlie Partridge, who took a job on Notre Dame’s defensive staff earlier this offseason. Hobby spent last season as a defensive analyst with the Tennessee Volunteers but worked with Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo from 2021-24 with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The moves come just as the NFL’s annual scouting combine is set to kick into high gear later this week in Indianapolis and less than a month before three key pass rushers — Kwity Paye, Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis — could become free agents.

Coach Shane Steichen also announced a series of other moves. Tyrell Brown is the strength & conditioning assistant, Jeremy Bruce and Dillon Doyle are defensive quality control coaches and Aditya Krishnan will be the game management coordinator.

Mikey Blazejowski also has been hired as a performance science analyst while Diego Ortiz and Brent Stockstill will be the offensive quality control coaches. Indy also announced Isabel Diaz will return next season as the Harriet P. Irsay Fellow.
