The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday that the team has claimed linebacker Deon King off waivers from the San Diego Chargers and waived wide receiver Marcus Leak in a corresponding roster move.
Originally signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted rookie free agent following this year’s NFL Draft, King spent the offseason with Jerry Jones‘ team and was productive in preseason, making 19 tackles in 4 preseason games (1 start).
Nevertheless, King was ultimately part of Dallas’ final 53-man roster cuts. He was then signed to the Cowboys practice squad before being released shortly thereafter.
