Colts sign former Patriots DT Anthony Johnson to practice squad

After the Colts announced that Andrew Luck would be placed on injured reserve, some interesting things have happened. Let’s go back a couple of weeks to the Bengals game, where Rashaan Melvin was inactive due to a concussion he suffered the previous week. In that game, Pierre Desir had the opportunity to start across from Vontae Davis. In what should have been a glaring weakness for the Bengals offense to exploit, A.J. Green wasn’t able to get anything going. Desir played a big role in helping shut down one of the best receivers in the National Football League.
