Colts' Adetomiwa Adebawore: Takes big step forward in 2025
Rotowire
Adebawore recorded 36 tackles (14 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
Adebawore played only minor roles on the Colts' defensive line in 2023 and 2024, but he became a starter in his third year when three-time Pro Bowler DeForest Buckner (neck) missed seven of Indianapolis' last eight games. Adebawore proved himself capable as an interior pass rusher with the elevated snap count, and he may have earned himself some more opportunities alongside Buckner and veteran Grover Stewart in 2026.

Rotowire
Adebawore had one assisted tackle in Sunday's win over Miami. He played on 13 of the defense's 47 snaps.
Adebawore will work as an interior defensive lineman, so most of his production may be in stuffing the run rather than in the pass rush.
