  "account": "The Indianapolis Colts made six roster moves on Tuesday ahead of their joint practice against the Falcons. Injuries to Luke Tenuta and Nolan Rucci prompted the team to bolster their offensive tackle depth by signing Trey Wedig and Roy Mbaeteka. Both players were undrafted in 2025 and 2022, respectively, and had not played a regular-season game as rookies. Mbaeteka was designated as the Colts' International Pathway Player, meaning his presence does not count toward the team's 90-man roster total. Bayron Matos, who also had the IPP designation, was waived. Tight end Carson Towt, who suffered an injury during Sunday's practice, was placed on injured reserve. To address the tight end position in Towt's absence, the Colts signed undrafted free agent Tyler Moore, who graduated from Iowa State. Finally, the team waived wide receiver EJ Horton, who was signed earlier in the offseason as an undrafted free agent. As of now, the reported signing of Keenan Allen has not been officially confirmed.",
