According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Indianapolis Colts had their eye on another recently released linebacker that hit the league’s waiver wire following Tuesday’s initial 53-man roster cuts: former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Cam Jones.
Despite also claiming Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Chad Muma, the Colts placed another waiver claim (*albeit unsuccessfully), on the former Indiana Hoosiers’ standout Jones—who was claimed by the New York Jets instead based upon their superior waiver priority (after finishing with a worse record than Indianapolis last season).
The 2023 undrafted free agent out of Indiana signed with Kansas City back in 2023 and later became a Super Bowl LVIII Champion with the Chiefs. Last season, he had 19 tackles (12 solo) during 17 games (1 start).
Even after adding Muma, the Colts have been performing their due diligence on adding extra linebacker depth, having also brought in a pair of veterans, Anthony Walker Jr. and Kyzir White, for workouts on Thursday.
The team is down one key linebacker already, as 2nd-year pro Jaylon Carlies (ankle) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return—meaning he’ll miss at least the team’s first four games.
