INDIANAPOLIS --- While football fans are counting down to the regular season, there’s a different kind of countdown going on inside the Colts practice facility. 90 to 75 to 53. It’s not fun, but it’s required. And as much as players try to focus on the task at hand of making the final roster, it’s near impossible to ignore the emotional side of it.
“It’s a brotherhood. Regardless of anything that happens, anybody that comes in and works out, you form a relationship with whoever it is,” said former international rugby player and outside linebacker Daniel Adongo, who was on the practice squad two years ago before going on Injured Reserve last season.
