Overview
- The Colts announced Saturday that cornerback Kenneth Harris and linebacker Germaine Pratt were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster and that punter Thomas Morstead was released.
- The moves respond to injuries and availability issues in the secondary and linebacker group, with star CB Sauce Gardner ruled out and other defenders listed as questionable or out.
- Germaine Pratt brings veteran starting experience and productive career tackling numbers to provide immediate linebacker depth on game day.
- Kenneth Harris is an undrafted rookie who previously earned high preseason marks from PFF, made one regular-season appearance in Week 1, and will serve as a developmental cornerback option.
- Releasing long-time punter Thomas Morstead clears the way for regular punter Rigoberto Sanchez to handle kicking duties this week and shows the Colts are using practice-squad moves for short-term roster flexibility.
