Colts sign CB Will Sunderland to the practice squad

Colts add to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerback Will Sunderland to the practice squad and released linebacker Najee Goode from the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

Sunderland, 24, visited the Colts on a tryout basis last week during the team’s bye. He is a product of Troy. He signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He has experience playing safety and cornerback during his collegiate career at both Oklahoma and Troy.

Sunderland is 6-foot-2, 194 pounds with 32 1/4-inch arm length. He ran a 4.51 at his pro day in 2020, per Kent Lee Platte.

Goode was signed to the practice squad a few weeks ago when the Colts were dealing with Darius Leonard’s groin injury. The hope is the latter will be ready to return from the injury in Week 8 after having a full week off to rest during the bye.

But we won’t know much about Leonard’s status until the team releases its first injury report of the week on Wednesday.

Colts worked out a pair of DBs

Colts host a pair of DBs.

The Indianapolis Colts held a tryout for defensive backs Kevon Seymour and Will Sunderland, per the league’s transaction wire on Friday.

The Colts are always keeping an eye out for players on the market in case they need to make a move. They seemingly have some interest in the safety position as they have been in contact with veteran Tony Jefferson as well.

Seymour, 26, was a sixth-round pick with the Buffalo Bills in 2016. He appeared in 15 games while making three starts during his rookie season. He was traded to the Carolina Panthers in 2017 where he played in 16 games while making two starts. He spent 2018 on the injured reserve list and didn’t play in 2019.

Sunderland, 24, is a product of Troy. He signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He has experience playing safety and cornerback during his collegiate career at both Oklahoma and Troy.

The Colts are resting up and will prepare to return from the bye week with a Week 8 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
