The Indianapolis Colts released offensive lineman Jason Spriggs, the team announced Friday.
Even though Spriggs had been working as the backup right guard behind starter Danny Pinter, the Colts got a head start on their roster cuts. Following Saturday’s preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, the Colts will have until Tuesday to release five players from the 90-man roster.
With Spriggs released, it could mean that second-year offensive lineman Will Fries is closer to solidifying a roster spot as a depth piece along the offensive line.
Spriggs will now have the rest of the preseason to find another job with a different team.
