Colts sign linebacker Germaine Pratt to practice squad amid struggles

The Indianapolis Colts have signed linebacker Germaine Pratt to their practice squad as of October 15, 2026. This move follows the Colts' seven-game losing streak and underperformance from their current linebackers. Pratt, who had previously played for the Colts, noted his readiness to support the team and elevate the linebacker unit. Colts head coach Shane Steichen emphasized Pratt's veteran presence as crucial for the struggling positional group, which includes several young players. The Colts are preparing for their Week 6 matchup against the Titans, and Pratt may see significant playing time due to injuries among the current roster.
