Beloved Colts project leaves Indianapolis for emotional return to first team

In Indianapolis’ second preseason game before the 2024 season, Isaiah Land showed why the Colts had snatched him from the Dallas Cowboys via the waiver wire in 2023. Early on, the fast, lanky pass rusher out of Florida A&M tracked down Arizona QB Clayton Tune for a sack, foiling a third-down conversion attempt.

In the second half, he burst through the line again, this time nailing running back Emari Demercado for a loss.

Land made plays like that throughout both of his preseasons with Indy. But it wasn’t enough to win him a spot on the Colts’ final 53-man roster announced on Tuesday.
