Washington released last year's camp phenom TE Hale Hentges. I am interested to see what the Colts do with the roster with the TE position with all the injuries they have sustained.

Also the NY Jets cut another familiar name - TE Ross Travis.

No surprises thus far.

Updates on a few former Colts (I am not saying the Colts should sign them)

With Rodrigo making the final roster, it keeps the Colts UDFA streak alive - it is now 22 straight years that the Colts have had an UDFA on the Week 1 roster.

Oh damn, hotrod won, I was right.

Do you know if he has changed his mechanics at all during the off season?

At Georgia, his kicks were typically a lower trajectory coming off the foot so longer range FG attempts could be an adventure at the NFL level.....might see several blocked or mis-directed kicks this year.

Reece Fountain released is a mild surprise.

My count says we are down to 52. Either Turay gets activated or the Colts will be picking a waived player from another team.

At the beginning of the day, I think the Colts roster was at 77.

I have seen 15 reported cuts so far so that puts the number at 62.

Still more to go - although there are some obvious choices - for example, the Colts are not keeping 4 QBs on the roster.

Damn, it my math skills got me again!

No, not keeping 4 QB's. But, with Covid situation I would not be against keep 3 and stashing 1 as one of the protected PS players. I also might look to stash McLaughlin as one the protected players on the PS.

DT Taylor Stallworth makes the team.

Yep, that means adios Chad Kelly.

Why?

Remember I said mild surprise. I knew that it was a fight between him and Patmon for WR 5 and that Dulin would beat either of them out for WR 6, because he's so valuable on ST.

Is there anyone on the cut lists anyone else is interested in? I'd like to see the Colts grab OT Prince Tega Wanogho from the Eagles. Rookie OT who could be a backup and could have future LT potential.

I think the Colts will do something with the TE position. Since they expect Burton to miss a few weeks, place him on short term IR and find an able body to fill in. Either go with Hale, or Ross or some other TE that they liked out of the 2020 draft that has now been cut

I don’t know. Funny you say that bc I just watched the SEC champ game again and noticed his low kicks. Either he adjusted it or the Colts don’t see it as an issue since it was a close race. I know he turned it up at the end there and was making a lot of his kicks.

Practice squad is my guess along with Windsor. Might take some more time that was a nasty injury last year.

I am hoping Marcus Johnson gets a shot somewhere. He can play in this league and was a good one for us last year.

Looks like we picked up OG Meyers from the Ratbirds and our very own DT TY Mcgill from the Seahawks.

The Colts claimed 2020 UDFA TE Noah Togiai off waivers from Philadelphia. Went to college at Oregon State.

I think you stumbled upon an old article from 5 years ago.

On Sept 6, 2015, the Colts claimed T.Y. McGill (DT) and Robert Myers (G) off waivers.

TY McGill is available again - he was briefly practicing with the Eagles before he was released a few days ago.

The Colts made another waiver claim today. Picked up 325 lb DT Eli Ankou from the Cleveland Browns. Eli should be familiar with the AFC South - he has previously played for both Houston and Jacksonville.

Here is the post where I said Johnson can play. Yes, I went C&O on you all, but I figured some clown would say I never said it.

You never said it.
