AFC South news roundup: Colts CB subject of gambling investigation, Jags won’t pursue Hopkins

Sunday marks a new week, and with it a new AFC South news roundup where we check in on the Tennessee Titans’ division rivals, the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars.

But before we get to the news, a look at the week ahead for the Titans: they’ll hold the final four sessions of OTAs from June 12-15 before heading off to summer break prior to training camp in late July.

We start in Indianapolis, where one Colts player appears to be in boiling hot water thanks to allegations of gambling violations. We’ve seen the NFL come down hard on multiple players in the last few years for such violations.

In Jacksonville, the Jaguars aren’t set to be a threat for DeAndre Hopkins, at least according to their head coach. Meanwhile, the Texans might be a different story, but their head coach was mum on the idea.
