Report: Colts Claim DT Byron Cowart Off Waivers from Patriots

The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up to begin training camp next week. All eyes are on Matt Ryan and what the veteran can accomplish under head coach Frank Reich.

However, the Colts are still adding arrows to their defensive quiver, as ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that Byron Cowart has been claimed off waivers from the New England Patriots.

"Colts claimed former Patriots’ DT Byron Cowart off waivers," Schefter tweeted.

Cowart, 26, is a 6-foot-3, 300-pound defensive tackle whom the Patriots drafted in the fifth round out of Maryland back in 2019. He only appeared in five games as a rookie, totaling two tackles.
