The Chargers are expected to release CB Dante Hughes before free agency.

Hughes is owed $1 million and got smoked in slot coverage last season, eventually losing playing time to rookie Marcus Gilchrist. Quentin Jammer, Antoine Cason, and Gilchrist will be the team’s top three corners in 2012.

FA Defensive Back #33
Chargers released CB Dante Hughes.

A practice squad mainstay in 2009 and 2010, Hughes failed his tryout as the Chargers nickel back last season. He’ll likely vie for a special teams rule wherever he ends up this offseason. The Chargers are expected to be in the mix for a veteran corner.

Tim Jennings

FA Defensive Back
Colts CB Tim Jennings (ankle) and OT Charlie Johnson (knee) are “still a ways away” from being ready to play, according to coach Tony Dungy.

Jennings is being replaced more than capably in the nickel by rookie Dante Hughes. Johnson, Indianapolis’ swing tackle, should be back relatively soon.

Colts waived CB Dante Hughes.

Hughes lacks athleticism and isn’t much of an option outside of Tampa 2 defenses. He’ll struggle to land a job. Also cut by the Colts: center Steve Justice and defensive back Nick Graham.
