The drama is on as all NFL teams must cut their roster down to 53 today. It’s been busy on both the local and national front as big moves have been made by both the Colts and teams around the league.
The #Colts have released RB Phillip Lindsay, source said.

Indianapolis is in a unique spot as they can carry 54 men due to the NFL’s International Pathway Program that allows them to carry Marcel Dabo without it counting against the roster. Outside of that, however, they have to make the same tough decisions that every team is having to make.
Of course, teams can also be active on the trade market which the Colts already did this afternoon.
The #Colts have traded for Tampa Bay LB-Grant Stuard.
In exchange, they give Tampa a 2023 6th round pick and get back a 2023 7th rounder.
Stuard played 311 special teams snaps last year. That’s a ton. And a clear question mark for Indy.
