Colts promote DT Jihad Ward, add veteran TE Erik Swoope to practice squad

The Indianapolis Colts promoted defensive tackle Jihad Ward to the active roster on Friday, ultimately leaving Erik Swoope the odd man out after the team waived him.

According to Colts Reporter Zak Keefer, the Colts are adding Swoope back to the roster, but in a practice squad role.

Ward was an addition to the practice squad on September 3, giving the Colts some added depth up front with Tyquan Lewis and Hassan Ridgeway dealing with injuries. Ward saw time with the Dallas Cowboys, spending a short time with the organization after being cut on September 1.
