Colts make roster moves ahead of road matchup vs. Minnesota
The Colts are elevating a familiar face at linebacker to their active roster ahead of Sunday’s road game.
Indianapolis, Indiana - On December 28, 2025, the Indianapolis Colts made roster moves ahead of their Week 7 road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The team elevated veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt to the practice squad, as well as cornerback Kenneth Harris. This decision came just ahead of the crucial game, following injuries to rookie linebacker CJ Allen and questions about rookie linebacker Bryce Boettcher's availability.
Prat, 30, was signed to the Colts' practice squad less than two weeks ago after being unsigned as a veteran free agent throughout the offseason. In 12 starts with Indianapolis last year, Prat recorded 101 tackles, an interception, 8 pass deflections, a forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries. His presence on the roster is seen as valuable due to the Colts' recent injuries and underwhelming play at the starting linebacker position.
Meanwhile, punter Rigoberto Sanchez, who suffered a significant injury during a blocked punt in the team's previous loss, will be available for the Minnesota game. The Colts released veteran punter Thomas Morstead earlier in the week, opting to cut ties with him. Harris, signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted rookie free agent this past offseason, has recorded a single tackle in one game for Indianapolis this season.
