One-third of the Indianapolis Colts' 2024 NFL draft class did not make the active roster.
Ryan Phillips of Sports Illustrated noted Tuesday the AFC South team released cornerback Jaylin Simpson, cornerback Micah Abraham and defensive tackle Jonah Laulu in an effort to cut the roster down to 53 players by Tuesday's deadline.
That represents three of the nine players the Colts selected in the previous draft.
Indianapolis selected Simpson out of Auburn with a fifth-round pick at No. 164 overall. He was a higher pick than the other two, as Abraham was a sixth-rounder out of Marshall at No.
