Colts Sign LB Germaine Pratt to One-Year Deal After Raiders Release

The move reunites him with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to address Indianapolis' unsettled spot next to Zaire Franklin.

Overview

  • Pratt was a healthy non-traveler for Las Vegas’ Week 5 game in Indianapolis and was released earlier this week, according to team announcements and reports.
  • To open a 53-man roster spot, the Colts placed linebacker Joe Bachie on injured reserve.
  • Head coach Shane Steichen cited Pratt’s veteran experience and familiarity with Anarumo’s scheme, noting the staff will evaluate his readiness to contribute this week for the 4-1 Colts.
  • The 29-year-old posted 25 tackles, two pass breakups and a tackle for loss in four games with the Raiders after a Bengals run that included a career-high 143 tackles in 2024.
  • Multiple teams inquired after his release, but Pratt chose Indianapolis; the Raiders moved on by signing Jon Rhattigan to the active roster and adding Jamin Davis to the practice squad.
