The Indianapolis Colts are placing defensive tackle Sheldon Day on the injured reserve list and will re-sign offensive lineman Chaz Green, the team announced Sunday.
Day underwent an offseason knee procedure that forced him to miss the entirety of training camp. He was signed to a one-year deal in free agency to compete with Grover Stewart at the one-technique defensive tackle spot.

In years past, the injured reserve list would keep Day off of the active roster for eight weeks but new rules will have him out of commission for only the first three weeks of the season.
Ballard says Sheldon Day (knee) is going to IR.
OT-Chaz Green is coming back to the 53-man roster.

Green was released on Sunday following the Colts claiming tight end Noah Togiai off of the waiver wire from the Philadelphia Eagles—the only player the team claimed after the roster cuts.
With Green coming back to the roster, the Colts will have eight offensive linemen on the roster. Taking the spot of Day will be Taylor Stallworth.
