According to WCSH6-TV’s Lee Goldberg, Indianapolis Colts outside linebacker Trevor Bates will be among the team’s former players re-signed to their practice squad on Sunday:
As a 7th round pick of this year’s NFL Draft out of Maine by the Colts, Bates was among the team’s 21 roster cuts on Saturday in order to get the roster down from 74 players to a league-mandated 53-player limit.
However, the Colts clearly like Bates’ long-term potential as a young pass rusher, even though he was edged out by undrafted rookie outside linebacker Curt Maggitt for a spot on the 53-man roster.
