The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday that the team has placed veteran pass rusher Trent Cole on injured reserve, while releasing safety Lee Hightower and re-signing Adam Redmond to the team’s practice squad.
Obviously, Cole’s loss for the season is a significant blow to the Colts solving their pass rush woes, as the veteran was expected to be a part of the solution this season.
The 33 year old had been battling a back injury to begin the season, but appeared in 2 games, recording 3 tackles–even playing in 31 defensive snaps this past weekend against the San Diego Chargers.
