Colts react to Xavien Howard news with most underwhelming signing imaginable

The Indianapolis Colts got an unexpected gift on Wednesday ahead of Week 5 as free agent acquisition Xavien Howard decided to retire. Howard was a gamble that didn't pay off for general manager Chris Ballard. What the team did next was a real question.

The answer to that came less than 24 hours after Howard announced he was hanging up his cleats. Indy signed cornerback Keenan Garber to the practice squad. You might ask yourself who that is, and you would be right to do so.

Garber hasn't played a down in the NFL, though he is still a rookie.
