Overview

  • The signing was first reported by CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler also noting Wormley is joining the practice squad.
  • Wormley, 32, has eight NFL seasons with 87 games and 31 starts, totaling about 150 tackles and 11.0 sacks across stints with the Ravens, Steelers and Panthers.
  • He has not played in 2025 and last saw action in 2024 for Baltimore, appearing in two games with four tackles.
  • Indianapolis is shorthanded up front with All-Pro DeForest Buckner on injured reserve until at least Week 15, while Tyquan Lewis (groin) and Samson Ebukam (knee) are recovering.
  • As practice-squad depth for the 8-2 Colts pursuing the AFC's top seed, Wormley can be elevated to the game-day roster up to three times this season.
