Harrison is surprising. Hopefully they bring him back.

What’s the difference between waived and released?

Edit-never mind. After a 10 second google search I found the answer. Players with less than 4 accrued seasons are waived, meaning other teams can claim their contracts. Players with more than 4 seasons are released and free to sign with another team immediately.

I am sure he will be back

nobody else will want him and this is the best opportunity for him

Yeah it is. I'd be surprised if we brought him back considering as early as we let him go.

Also, it was posted elsewhere but the NFLPA voted down the emergency QB rule. So that makes that final roster spot a tougher decision.

Thought he might make it after playing 154 special-teams snaps last season.

A practice squad return (and the flexibility to elevate him on game day) remains possible

Colts to place TE Jelani Woods on season-ending IR

The Colts announce their 53 man roster.

Few thoughts.

1) They kept 3 QB's. Yuck. Although not completely shocking with that last minute rule change.
2) They only kept 3 RB's. I am OK with only carrying 3 for this initial roster...a little surprised that they kept Goodson over Hull. I think it might have been easier to sign Goodson to the PS vs Hull.
3) Why did they keep Taven Bryan?? Maybe they are going to make a waiver claim or two and they just needed someone temporarily filling a spot.
4) I sure hope that Baker Jr is only on the roster for Special Teams reps and zero defensive snaps.
