Indianapolis Colts add defensive back Kapena Gushiken from waivers

The Indianapolis Colts claimed defensive back Kapena Gushiken off waivers on August 31, 2026. This roster addition follows Gushiken's time with the Eagles earlier this year, where he participated in spring workouts and training camp after going undrafted. The Colts move to incorporate him into their defensive secondary as the team evaluates its current roster composition. Indianapolis must complete a corresponding transaction to clear a space for Gushiken on the active roster. No further details regarding the specific roster cut or internal move were immediately provided by the team following the announcement on the league's transaction wire.
