The Indianapolis Colts protected practice squad cornerback Marvell Tell and safety Jordan Lucas for the Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans, per the league’s transaction wire.
The secondary for the Colts has been ravaged by injuries during the course of the early season so it makes sense the team would want to protect some of its assets at cornerback and safety.
Tell, the fifth-round pick from 2019, was released by the Colts during roster cuts following the preseason. He was re-signed to the practice squad before the start of the regular season.
Lucas, a former sixth-round pick with the Miami Dolphins, was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 29 and now could see a role as an elevated player with Ibraheim Campbell landing on the injured reserve with ankle and knee injuries.
