3 things to know about veteran safety Colts signed to shore up thin group

INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts added a veteran strong safety to their secondary mix on Tuesday, signing long-time Minnesota Viking Andrew Sendejo to the 53-man roster after carrying just three safeties into Sunday’s season-opener.

How did the Colts make room on the roster for Andrew Sendejo?

Indianapolis released cornerback Chris Wilcox in order to make the move, and also released veteran safety Sean Davis from the practice squad, potentially to make room for Wilcox, provided the rookie passes through waivers.

Davis, a veteran who had starting experience in Pittsburgh, failed to make the Colts’ 53-man roster out of training camp and played 10 special-teams snaps against Seattle as a temporary call-up from the practice squad.
