Nearly half the players on the Indianapolis Colts roster had to be released on Tuesday, and this is always a difficult day for any franchise. You wish you could keep them all, but business is business
Plenty of players were waived, and some hopefully will come back on the practice squad. The practice squad has become even more important as the league has evolved, with those players being the "next men up." It allows them to focus on player development instead of signing players just to sign them and hope they work out.
The Colts' linebacker room has some of those players that they just hope work out this season.
