Overview

  • The Colts placed second-year offensive tackle Jack Wilson on season-ending injured reserve on July 28 after he missed consecutive practices with a pectoral injury.
  • Landing on injured reserve before the regular season makes Wilson’s 2025 return unlikely unless he is one of two players designated to return at the 53-man roster cutdown.
  • Indianapolis signed veteran defensive tackle Josh Tupou as the corresponding roster move, bringing seven seasons of NFL experience to the interior line.
  • Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo described Tupou as a “glue guy” whose leadership and power will anchor the middle behind starters DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart.
  • Tupou will compete in training camp for depth snaps against Neville Gallimore, Adetomiwa Adebawore and other defensive-line prospects as the Colts finalize their rotation.
