Overview
- The Colts removed Johnathan Edwards from their 53-man roster this week after he was inactive for the season opener and later cleared waivers.
- Indianapolis signed Edwards to the practice squad and concurrently released Robert Carter Jr. from the practice squad as the corresponding move.
- The roster shuffle was driven by Cam Taylor-Britt’s reinstatement to availability following a one-game suspension for a 2025 off-field incident, which created the immediate need for an active roster spot.
- Edwards, an undrafted rookie from 2025 who started five games as a rookie, finished his first season with 24 tackles and three passes defensed and remains eligible to be elevated if the team needs cornerback depth.
- The move highlights a wider Colts theme of using the practice squad to retain developmental players while juggling short-term veteran availability and game-day roster limits.
