  Colts | Roster pared to 53    Fri Aug 31, 08:56 PM

The Indianapolis Colts cut DT Chigbo Anunoby, OT Steven Baker, LB Jerry Brown, RB Darren Evans, OT George Foster, OG Hayworth Hicks, LB Greg Lloyd Jr., TE Kyle Miller, WR Kashif Moore, WR Jeremy Ross, DT Jason Shirley, TE Andre P. Smith, C Zane Taylor, OT Mike Tepper and S Latarrius Thomas Friday, Aug. 31.

Footballguys view: Evans was considered in the mix for a roster spot heading into the offseason, but rookie Vick Ballard has been impressive and the Colts offseason signing of Mewelde Moore basically sealed the power back's fate.

  Colts | Jason Shirley signed     Thu Jul 19, 12:07 PM

The Indianapolis Colts announced Thursday, July 19, that they have signed free-agent DL Jason Shirley (Panthers). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Shirley is a big bodied D-Lineman who has even played on the offensive line during his brief career. He's failed to impress at three stops in the NFL (Bengals, Seahawks, Panthers) and may not make the final roster for the Colts at the end of camp.

The Cincinnati Bengals have signed FB James Develin, LB Dequin Evans, CB Brandon Ghee, WR Andrew Hawkins, QB Dan LeFevour, OT Matthew O'Donnell and DT Jason Shirley to their practice squad.

Footballguys view: LeFevour will still continue to be a developmental QB for the Bengals on the practice squad. Hawkins could work his way onto the active roster because of his quickness and ability as a return man.
