INDIANAPOLIS – Former Oakland Raiders safety Tyvon Branch was scheduled to meet with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, his agent said.

Branch, a former fourth-round draft pick, spent his first seven seasons with the Raiders before being released earlier this week.

Branch has three seasons with at least 104 tackles, but injuries have kept him on the sideline the past two seasons. He only played two games in 2013 and three games last season.

The Colts are in need of two starting safeties because they released LaRon Landry three weeks ago and Mike Adams and Sergio Brown are free agents. There’s mutual interest between Adams and the Colts in re-signing him.

Branch can play both safety positions, but he spent the majority of time at strong safety with the Raiders. Colts coach Chuck Pagano is big in his safeties being interchangeable in his defensive scheme.

New England’s Devin McCourty will be the best safety available on the free-agent market.

Teams can start talking to the agents of players on March 7. Free agency begins March 10 at 4 p.m. The Colts are able to meet with Branch because he was released.
