Colts release former Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt from practice squad

Germaine Pratt has been released by the Indianapolis Colts after a brief stint on their active roster. The former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker played 20 snaps last week after being elevated from the practice squad. Previously, Pratt had a successful tenure with the Bengals and joined the Colts mid-season last year, recording over 100 tackles. His recent release marks another transition in his career, having previously suited up for the Las Vegas Raiders before being cut. Pratt will now enter free agency as he seeks a new opportunity.
