Colts sign former Saints backup OL Lewis Kidd to their practice squad

Another former New Orleans Saints player has landed on his feet: the Indianapolis Colts announced Thursday that they signed Lewis Kidd to their practice squad after the Saints let him go during final roster cuts in August.

Kidd first signed with the Saints last year out of Montana State, and he was the only undrafted free agent to make their initial 53-man roster. He hung around on the depth chart as a backup at left guard, but the Saints moved him back to his college position at left tackle this summer. The Colts are listing him at guard, at least at first.

Good luck to him. Saints fans have harangued the team for its poor offensive line play in Week 1, but the team must feel like they’re in a better spot than last season with guys who made the team on other rosters like Kidd and Calvin Throckmorton (with the Carolina Panthers). There’s a chance Kidd could play against his former team when the Saints visit the Colts in Week 8.
