Colts sign Kapena Gushiken and release offensive tackle Luke Tenuta
Summary

The Indianapolis Colts announced roster moves on August 31, 2026, claiming defensive back Kapena Gushiken off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles. To accommodate the addition on the 53-man roster, the team released offensive tackle Luke Tenuta. Tenuta previously served as the team's swing tackle following the departure of Blake Freeland. With the release, the Colts now have Bernhard Raimann and Jalen Travis as the only tackles remaining on the active roster. Matt Goncalves is considered an option to fill the tackle position if needed, though he currently operates as a right guard. The team maintains a total of eight offensive linemen, prompting questions regarding potential additions to improve depth at the unit.
