The Cameron McGrone Era in New England has ended before it even began.
The Indianapolis Colts are signing the 22-year-old linebacker off the Patriots' practice squad, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday.
The Patriots had high expectations for McGrone when they selected him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Michigan. While McGrone sat out his rookie season in New England due to a torn ACL he suffered in college, the hope was that he could inject speed to the Patriots' linebacker corps when he returned to action.
