Indianapolis Colts add 15 players to the 2026 practice squad

Summary

The Indianapolis Colts announced the initial signings for their 2026 practice squad following the conclusion of training camp roster cuts on Sunday. The team secured 15 players, largely composed of individuals who participated in the organization's training camp. Two spots on the practice squad remain open as general manager Chris Ballard continues to evaluate personnel. The roster calculation includes an exemption for offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka, who is expected to participate in the International Pathway Program. This status allows the team to carry 17 players rather than the standard 16. The organization is expected to look outside of the current roster to fill the two remaining vacancies.
