[Mr.Debonair]

@JimIrsay: 2days roster moves,released DT C.Anunoby n T D.Weems from practice squad,signed NT N.Jean-Baptiste n T T.Hills 2 practice squad.

[RomanianColtsFan]

Jim Irsay just announced that DT C.Anunoby and Tackle D.Weems were released from practice squad.

NT N.Jean-Baptiste and Tackle T.Hills were signed to replaced them.

I am pretty sure many will be happy to see the signing of Jean-Baptiste but I am not sure how you feel about the release of Anunoby.

[JoKeR]

For serious?

Some were hoping we'd sign Jean-Baptiste during the initial waiver claim period. Interesting add at this point.

[Balzer40]

Nice. I've been wanting him since the draft.

[Nobody]

Cool!

[Captain Americolt]

At the expense of Anunoby. Who I thought was raw and could develop to be a solid player with a year or two of experience. Still... Cool.

It was smart move. If we can get Chapman healthy the NT/DT positions will be in good hands.

[CR91]

if anyone cares hes wearing 67. hillis is wearing 78

Because Jean-Baptiste is a stud?

[krunk]

Didn't I tell you from the Owner all the way down to the players, this team is trying to win now. They don't see this as some experimental year. They are doing whatever it takes to make this team stout now. Piece by piece.

[MTC]

[21isSuperman]

I like this move!

[luckycolts]

good signing for the colts.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Jean-Baptiste was released three weeks ago, and has been sitting at home since then. If he turns out to be a difference maker for us at any point, he'll be the 1% of discarded training camp players that goes on to do something meaningful in the NFL. I like everything I've seen, heard and read about him, but I'm not giddy with excitement over shuffling the 60th player on our roster.

that makes me feel good....I hated the talk about building for 2015.

If we win Sunday..we have an oustide chance to make the playoffs THIS YEAR...

[JoKeR]

When will he join the active roster? Tomorrow?

[Captain Americolt]

When will he join the active roster? Tomorrow?

I think he's just PS guy. Do we still even have Tevaseu?

[oldunclemark]

6-1, 335.....a natural noseman......highly regarded from what I'm reading coming out of Baylor..

We'll need all the help we can get when we get to playing Houston..

[CS Colts Fan]

my bad he is still on the rooster.. that he was cut Tevaseu

[John Waylon]

Lots of talk about him so I guess it's a good addition, though being a PS player some other team can still scoop him from under us...

Wasn't he injured when he was waived during final cuts?

Not that I remember.

Makes a difference to me. No I don't think we signed the next coming of a Hall of Famer, but this owner, coach, and gm are continuously trying to make the team better. It's a great thing to be a part of.

[krunk]

Tevaseu is on the 53 man roster. He's not on the practice squad

I agree there.

[krunk]

I feel like he will be an upgrade over Anunoby. Not that I hated Anunoby

[JoKeR]

No I'm talking about JP. Why is he on the PS?

[CS Colts Fan]

he was released by the ravens on the final cut... they also released NT Kitchen a rookie from Kent state.. they are deep with NT.. I think this was a good pick up for us and hoepfully he will be able to come in and help ..

[ColtStrong]

For serious?

Fer realz.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Had to be. I doubt we signed him on a wing and a prayer. Brought him in, worked him out. The impression was that he is better than Anunoby. So we signed one and dropped the other.

I'm just wondering what took so long....AND since we did not know about bringing him in...did we bring Kitchen in for a workout as well or were Pagano's back-channels to Bmore enough to disregard?

It's a nice addition to the practice squad...but lets not get too carried away like he is the missing piece to a playoff contender. He was out there for about three weeks after clearing waivers. Obviously people around the league view him as somewhat of a project. He's on practice squad for a reason. That said...I like the addition. We continue to build and see what pieces might fit this monster in the making.

[Boiler_Colt]

I thought Chigbo showed promise. I guess if the coaches feel he is an upgrade I'm all for it. I hope this doesn't mean that Chapman isn't progressing as hoped.

[ColtStrong]

I hope this doesn't mean that Chapman isn't progressing as hoped.

I doubt it has anything to do with Chapman. He won't be ready for a while, and they need bodies in the meantime.

[CS Colts Fan]

Gotta Love the FO and Coaches.. we are not sitting on our hands... trying to find/get the pidces to make this team better

[ztboiler]

I thought Chigbo showed promise. I guess if the coaches feel he is an upgrade I'm all for it. I hope this doesn't mean that Chapman isn't progressing as hoped.

I'd read the direct translation as Chigbo not progressing as hoped. We are adequate at nose with or without Chapman for the moment.

[kansascolt]

Every year I seem to follow the Colts more and more closely. I've been a fan for close to 20 years and maybe I just haven't been following closely enough but are the colts under Grigson's management doing more trading and signing than in the past 10 years combined. Don't get me wrong, I dig the non-stop effort to try to make the team better and love the direction we're going and like the the signing of jean-batiste.

[Captain Americolt]

Tevaseu is on the 53 man roster. He's not on the practice squad

No I'm talking about JP. Why is he on the PS?

You guys read me wrong. I know Tevaseu wasn't on the PS, but I hardly noticed him being on the 53.

I also think Baptiste is just a PS guy.. I hope I'm wrong.

[NewEra]

You guys read me wrong. I know Tevaseu wasn't on the PS, but I hardly noticed him being on the 53.

You're kidding right? You watch the minn game? He was the guy swallowing up double teams and putting the halt on their run. I noticed him big time, how can you miss the hair?
