Colts waive WR D.J. Montgomery, DT Caeveon Patton

The Colts waived two players Monday.

The Indianapolis Colts waived wide receiver D.J. Montgomery and defensive tackle Caeveon Patton, the team announced Monday.

As the roster must be trimmed down to 80 players before Tuesday’s deadline, the Colts still have two more cuts to make.

Montgomery was a late addition to the roster during training camp, but it was unlikely he was going to make the 53-man roster. Four spots are already locked in at that spot, and young wideouts Mike Strachan and Dezmon Patmon seem to have a strong chance to be the final two players in that room.

Patton was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Texas State who signed with the Colts during the offseason.

Predicting the Colts’ next round of roster cuts

The Colts must cut four players before Tuesday’s deadline. Here’s a prediction.

Once again, the Indianapolis Colts must cut their roster down by four players to shrink the roster to a total of 80 players.

The Colts currently have 84 players counting against the active roster following their latest transaction, which placed rookie tight end Andrew Ogletree on the injured reserve list.

Because defensive back Marcel Dabo does not count against the active roster, the Colts technically get an extra roster spot.

With the second preseason game over, the Colts have until Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET to make their cuts. The final roster cuts from 80 to 53 players will come Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Here’s our prediction for the next wave of roster cuts by the Colts:

Predicting the Colts’ first 5 roster cuts before Tuesday’s deadline

Here’s a prediction of the Colts’ first five roster cuts before Tuesday’s deadline.

The Indianapolis Colts must reduce their roster from 90 to 85 players before the end of the league day Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET, which means five players are getting the unfortunate call.

Sometimes a player will be released simply because they don’t fit in the plans for the Colts. Other times, it may be so that a player can get more reps with another team before the season arrives even if they are a solid player. That was likely the case with veteran offensive lineman Jason Spriggs.

The first five cuts may not be as difficult for the Colts because it’s likely coming down to a numbers game at deeper positions.

Here is a prediction of the Colts’ first five cuts following the preseason opener:

Colts re-sign DT Caeveon Patton

The Colts brought back UDFA DT Caeveon Patton.

The Indianapolis Colts signed defensive tackle Caeveon Patton and released defensive end Bryan Cox, the team announced Friday.

Patton joined the Colts during the spring practices as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Texas State. He was waived at the start of training camp when the Colts signed a pair of wide receivers.

However, the Colts brought Patton back to the roster and released Cox, who signed with the team in June following the conclusion of the offseason workout program.

Patton will be competing for one of the final spots in the defensive tackle room alongside Chris Williams, R.J. McIntosh and two Day 3 draft picks in Eric Johnson II and Curtis Brooks.

Colts sign WRs Isaiah Ford, John Hurst

Colts add two WRs to the mix before training camp.

The Indianapolis Colts signed wide receivers Isaiah Ford and John Hurst, and they waived wide receiver Kekoa Crawford and defensive tackle Caeveon Patton, the team announced Tuesday.

With training camp slated to start Wednesday, the Colts added some depth to the wide receiver room. Both Ford and Hurst were among the four wide receivers to work out for the Colts on Monday.

The depth was needed somewhat after second-year wideout Mike Strachan was placed on the PUP list to open training camp.

Ford, 26, was a seventh-round pick with the Miami Dolphins in the 2017 NFL draft. He has appeared in 32 games (three starts), recording 63 receptions for 681 receiving yards and two touchdowns throughout his career with the Dolphins (2017-2020, 2021) and New England Patriots (2020).

Hurst, 25, has yet to appear in an NFL game but has spent time on the practice squads of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers since signing with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL draft.

Colts’ 2022 training camp preview: Defensive Tackle

DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart lead the DTs into Colts training camp.

The Indianapolis Colts are just over a week away from the start of training camp at Westfield where the interior defensive line will boast some strong competition.

The starting spots will remain the same in Gus Bradley’s new defense. It’s the depth roles that will be the ones to watch when the team officially returns from summer break.

Not many additions were made to the interior defensive line outside of two intriguing Day 3 picks in the 2022 NFL draft, and this unit will have a lot of say in the type of production the entire defense has in 2022.

Be sure to check out the other position previews ahead of training camp:

As training camp is set to begin July 27, here’s a preview of the defensive tackles for the Colts:

Colts sign DT Caeveon Patton, waive LB Jordan Glasgow

Colts signed DT Caeveon Patton and waived LB Jordan Glasgow, DT McKinley Williams III.

The Indianapolis Colts signed defensive tackle Caeveon Patton and waived linebacker Jordan Glasgow and defensive tackle McKinley Williams III, the team announced Thursday.

Patton, an undrafted rookie out of Texas State, was one of the five players attending the Colts’ minicamp this week on a tryout basis.

In 44 career games at Texas State, Patton recorded 4.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss.

Glasgow is an interesting waive, to say the least, considering how much work he’s done on special teams since he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft. Assuming he doesn’t re-sign with the team, expect veteran Brandon King to take Glasgow’s spot on special teams.

Glasgow appeared in 25 games across two seasons with the Colts, playing 75% and 65% of the special teams snaps, respectively.

Williams signed with the Colts as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2022 NFL draft out of Syracuse.
