INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis bruised defence finally got some help Sunday. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey . Four days after team owner Jim Irsay ignited speculation about a possible trade with a series of Twitter posts, the Colts acquired former first-round draft pick Vontae Davis to solidify their secondary. Miami will get Indys second-round pick and a conditional, undisclosed late-round pick in the 2013 draft -- a steep price for a veteran cornerback who recently lost his starting job, but one the Colts found reasonable. "I think if Vontae were coming out in the 2013 draft, theres no way hed be there. A guy of this calibre and with this talent level and skill set, he wouldnt be there in the second (round)," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "You dont find guys like this in the second." The addition of Davis came hours after the Colts took another big defensive hit when an MRI confirmed defensive tackle Brandon McKinney injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Pagano said McKinney would likely go on injured reserve soon, ending his season. McKinney, one of several ex-Ravens now in Indianapolis (No. 32 in AP Pro32), was signed as a free agent in April to add size and depth to the defensive line. With his knowledge of the Ravens defensive system, Pagano and the new Colts coaches expected him to help Indy make a smooth transition from their traditional 4-3 defensive front to Paganos preferred 3-4 hybrid. Its been that kind of preseason for the Colts, who have lost two backup linebackers with season-ending knee injuries and will be without starting inside linebacker Pat Angerer (fractured foot) for several more weeks. The Colts also played Saturday without new defensive end Cory Redding (knee) or linebacker Robert Mathis (shoulder) and have now lost the 345-pound McKinney in the middle of the defensive line. "Losing the couple of linebackers that weve lost and now Brandon and the injuries that have kept some guys out for a couple weeks here and there, its tough from a continuity standpoint," Pagano said. "Youd love to have them all playing together just from a communication standpoint and a trust standpoint and all those types of things. So its been a challenge for Greg Manusky and our defensive coaches. ... It seems like every time we come out of a preseason game or what not, were adding somebody new to the mix." Davis is the newest addition and will fill a huge void. Jerraud Powers has been a solid starter at one cornerback spot each of the past three seasons and was expected to do the same again this year. But with no clear winner in the competition for the other spot, new general manager Ryan Grigson began talking with the Dolphins about Davis. The No. 25 overall pick in the 2009 draft was a starter since his rookie season, but his effort and conditioning were questioned during this summers training camp and he lost his starting job to newcomer Richard Marshall. Sean Smith is the other cornerback for the Dolphins (No. 27 in the AP Pro32), who have endured three consecutive losing seasons and are rebuilding under first-year coach Joe Philbin. That made Davis expendable, and the Colts approached Miami general manager Jeff Ireland about a deal. "My job is to try to establish a strong foundation of success, and build on that moving forward," Ireland said. "We want to be a good team not only this year but in coming years. This helps us achieve that objective. Were in a stronger position today to reach our goal of building a team that will continue to perform at a high level over a sustained period of time." Ireland said he agreed to the trade in part because hes pleased with the development of several youngsters in the secondary, the biggest question mark regarding the Dolphins defence. "I have a lot of confidence in our defensive backs," he said. Apparently, Davis appreciates the chance to start over in the Midwest, only a two to three-hour drive from his alma mater -- Illinois. "Thank GOD for keeping me in the right direction!!!!!" he wrote on Twitter. In 44 career games with Miami, Davis had 148 career tackles and nine interceptions. In Indianapolis, hell get a chance to strengthen a revamped secondary that managed to avoid another potentially devastating blow when Powers motioned to the coaching staff that he needed to come out during Washingtons second series. Trainers diagnosed the injury as a sprained knee, and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis Sunday. Pagano said Powers would be listed as day to day with a "mild" sprain and that he probably would have returned to action had it been a regular-season game. By pairing Davis and Powers, the Colts now have two established starters at cornerback and a bevy of youngsters vying for playing time behind them. That group includes Josh Gordy, D.J. Johnson and Cassius Vaughn -- all NFL veterans Indy has acquired in trades this year -- and Justin King, another NFL veteran who signed with Indy as a free agent. "Vontae brings a great skill set, a great cover man, hes big, hes physical and he can run," Pagano said. "Just throwing him into the mix, we feel we are getting an outstanding player that has proven himself and played at a high level in the league, and obviously will make us better moving forward." Pagano also said Sunday that undrafted rookie Griff Whalen, one of Andrew Lucks teammates at Stanford last season, would be out indefinitely after fracturing his right foot Saturday. Whalen missed the start of training camp with an injury to the same foot. . -- The Peterborough Lakers scored seven unanswered goals in the second period Friday to defeat the Langley Thunder 9-5 in Game 5 of the Mann Cup.

Lions defence excelled throughout the 2012 CFL regular season -- but stumbled when it mattered most Sunday.MONTREAL -- Organizers of an exhibition tennis event are hoping the rising star power of Milos Raonic and Genie Bouchard will help fill the Bell Centre for a night. Raonic, Canadas top-ranked mens player of all time at No. 15, and Wimbledon junior champion Bouchard will take on opponents yet to be determined at the Montreal Rendez-Vous on March 18. "It was a delightful opportunity because Ive tried to do the same thing in Toronto to help the sport grow," Raonic said at the announcement on Monday. "Tennis is difficult. "You dont know how results and schedules will play out, so if you have something pre-set in advance and advertised well, its pretty special. It gives an opportunity not only for tennis fanatics but sports fans in general to come out and see us play." Players and organizers spoke of top talent like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or even Roger Federer as possible opponents for Raonic and Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova for Bouchard, but it remains to be seen who they will face. "Anyones special," said 18-year-old Bouchard, the Westmount, Que., native who won junior titles in singles and doubles at Wimbledon and is now tackling a pro career. "Ill see how I do against an opponent like that. "After the off-season, Ill start again in January and play lots of pro tournaments and hopefully Ill be a better player than I am now." The event is run by StarGames, Madison Square Garden and local promoter Evenko. The event started last year with former stars like Andre Agassi and Ivan Lendl and drew 8,200 fans. "We know that the 2013 version, headlined by Milos Raonic, will be even more compelling to the Montreal market," StarGames president Jerry Solomoon said.

Some of them are players who have played for us in other events. Its a great date on the international tennis calendar. They have a few days off between Indian Wells and Miami, so it works well for them." Solomon said a similar event is going into its sixth year in New York and he plans to announce a third one in another city on another continent soon. The 21-year-old Raonic, of Thornhill, Ont., is coming off a pair of singles wins as Canada downed a depleted South Africa squad 4-1 on the weekend to keep its place in the top-level World Group for next year. Its unusual that Canada won its Davis Cup tie despite losing the doubles match, as veteran doubles ace Daniel Nestor was Canadas strong point before Raonics rise in singles rankings. Vasek Pospisil and Frank Dancevic, as well as Wimbledon and U.S. Open junior champion Filip Peliwo, give Canada added depth in singles. "To be honest, its singles that gets all the limelight and attention," said Raonic. "Its singles performances that are going to help the sport grow, especially here in Canada." The tennis event could get even greater attention if the NHL lockout that began at midnight on Saturday drags through the winter. "I think so, but theres still quite a bit of talk going on about the lockout, so that will take a bit of time, said Raonic. "Its definitely a good opportunity, but at the same time, its an opportunity thats not going to be there consistently. "Maybe we can use it to grow, but Id want tennis to become a tradition where it doesnt depend on hockey being locked out, where it can grow on its own and hold its own." ' ' '
