The Indianapolis Colts really need help at cornerback. Kenny Moore might miss a few weeks with an Achilles injury, and free agent acquisition Xavien Howard has been terrible. So what does Indy do ahead of Week 5? It signs a linebacker, of course.
Questions abound with the move, but the main one might be why? Buddy Johnson was on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad until Indianapolis signed him to its roster. A corresponding move will have to be made to add Johnson, but who might be released is unknown.
Johnson doesn't truly take the place of any linebacker getting many defensive reps, and there are a lot of them.
