Overview
- The Indianapolis Colts announced they waived cornerback Johnathan Edwards to make room for Cam Taylor‑Britt returning from suspension.
- Edwards was a 2025 undrafted rookie who played in 14 games with five starts as a rookie and recorded 26 tackles and three passes defensed.
- Edwards was inactive for the season opener as the Colts allowed 41 points in that game, a poor defensive showing that intensified evaluations of the secondary.
- The roster change follows a string of recent cornerback moves by the Colts, including waiving Mekhi Blackmon and Jaylon Jones, claiming Kapena Gushiken, and elevating Kenneth Harris for Week 1.
- Taylor‑Britt’s suspension stems from a September 2025 arrest in Cincinnati that led to a guilty plea and a five-day jail sentence under the NFL’s personal-conduct policy, and his return reshapes depth and special-teams plans for the Colts.
