I posted this in the RG too thread:
The Indianapolis Colts today signed offensive tackle Lee Ziemba to the practice squad and released offensive tackle Robert Griffin from the practice squad.
Ziemba, 6-6, 320 pounds, played in six games with the Carolina Panthers last season. He was originally selected by the Panthers in the seventh round (244th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Auburn and was waived on December 11, 2012.
At Auburn, Ziemba set a school record with 52 consecutive starts, starting every game of his career. As a senior in 2010, he earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is awarded to the best blocker in the conference.

Good point but maybe they think he can fill in at Guard if Mcglynn has to play Center

If I remember right Ziemba was a OG/OT coming out of Auburn

Could be ... who knows ? Hopefully we won't get down to practice squad players just signed. I'm guessing they just like this new guy a little better .

Again, why have we not called Trei Essex back?? Especially since he can play any position.
A limited number of season tickets are available
