Colts Waive Johnathan Edwards as Cam Taylor-Britt Returns

The move clears a roster spot for Taylor-Britt's reinstatement under the NFL's conduct ruling, signaling continued evaluation of the Colts' secondary.

Overview

  • The Colts announced they waived cornerback Johnathan Edwards to free a 53-man roster spot for Cam Taylor-Britt's return from a one-game suspension.
  • Taylor-Britt's suspension was issued under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy and stems from a September 2025 arrest that resulted in a guilty plea and a five-day jail sentence.
  • Indianapolis gave up 41 points in its Week 1 loss, a defensive collapse that prompted quicker evaluation and turnover in the cornerback group.
  • Recent roster moves that reshaped the room included waiving Mekhi Blackmon, claiming rookie Kapena Gushiken, elevating practice-squad cornerback Kenneth Harris, and releasing Jaylon Jones.
  • Edwards was a 2025 undrafted rookie who played 14 games with five starts and will pass through the waiver process with the possibility of signing elsewhere as the Colts sort depth and special-teams roles.
