The Indianapolis Colts claimed defensive tackle Eric Johnson II off waivers from the New England Patriots, the team announced Thursday.
In a corresponding move, the team waived safety Marcel Dabo, who had been a part of the International Player Pathway Program for the last three seasons.
Johnson was originally a fifth-round pick with the Colts during the 2022 NFL Draft out of Missouri State. He spent two seasons with the Colts before he was waived during final roster cuts in 2024.
Johnson recorded 17 tackles (two solo) across 11 games during the 2024 season with the Patriots.
