The Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday that the team has waived rookie 6th rounder Tim Smith to make room for recently claimed former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Chad Muma.
Muma was a former 2022 3rd round pick of the Jaguars, and at 6’3”, 239 pounds, adds depth to the Colts depleted linebacker corps, which just placed 2nd-year pro Jaylon Carlies on injured reserve with a designation to return—meaning he’ll miss at least four games to begin the 2025 regular season.
The former 2x First-Team All-Mountain West standout appeared in 17 games (3 starts) for the Jaguars defense last season, recording 32 tackles (12 solo) during 17 games (3 starts) in the 2024 campaign.
Smith was the 190th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Colts. The 6’4”, 302 pound defensive tackle was ultimately the odd man out in what was already a crowded Colts defensive line room. He looks to be a candidate that the Colts will try to re-sign to the team’s practice squad—should he clear league waivers here.
During preseason for the Colts, Smith had 4 tackles (2 solo) and a forced fumble.
