The Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback position may be one of the deepest, most-talented positions on the roster, partly because of the events of last season.

The Colts, because of injuries to starters Kelvin Hayden and Marlin Jackson, were forced to play reserve veteran Tim Jennings extensively throughout the season, with the result being that Jennings enters the 2009 season far more experienced than last season.

Can Hayden continue the development that has moved him to within the cusp of the Pro Bowl?

Can Jackson return from a knee injury that cost him nine games last season?

Can Jennings continue to improve?

Who will emerge as the fourth corner? Dante Hughes? Michael Coe? Rookie Jerraud Powers?

Can T.J. Rushing return from a knee injury to find a place in the rotation?

These are some of the questions facing the position entering training camp. In the 11th of a 2009 pre-training camp position-by-position series running late last month and early this month on Examiner.com, Indy Football Report Editor John Oehser addresses those questions and more.
