Roster Moves: Adongo and Nixon elevated, Herron and Harvey to IR [Merge]

[HtownColt]

The Indianapolis Colts today elevated outside linebacker Daniel Adongo and tackle Xavier Nixon from the practice squad to the active roster and agreed to terms with fullback Robert Hughes and defensive tackle Jeris Pendleton, who will be signed to the practice squad. The team also placed inside linebacker Mario Harvey and running back Daniel "Boom" Herron on Injured Reserve.

[TKnight24]

Adongo!!!!!!!!

You know we're riddled with injuries when all of our pre-season "projects" are now on the 53

It's so sad that you can't help but laugh though

WOW didn't think Andongo was gonna be active this year. Well with all these injuries at least a lot of our players that need more playing time are going to get it.

[CjMcGirt23]

and now Adongo supplants Rogers as the forums favorite divine player.

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

I AM a little suprised that none of these moves was for WR. I hope that DHB is at least the 1 getting the least amount of snaps.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Dongo!!!!! I wonder if they try Nixon at guard or go with reitz

[TKnight24]

Dongo!!!!! I wonder if they try Nixon at guard or go with reitz

Was thinking the same thing. Gotta find a interior line that works

[pgt_rob]

We are such a fragile team this year more than I've ever seen. I predicted us having many injury problems due to our aging players and those who were known to be injury prone already. I think I predicted us going 8-8 or 9-7 before the season started. Good chance we can have more wins than that but who knows.

[JoKeR]

I wonder if Adongo is ready to blitz in a game at the very least?

[jamesie jr]

Gutted about Herron but ADONGO!!!! Will be so happy to see him play.

Um aren't most of our people on IR more towards the young end? So you were right but not who you thought would be the issues.

@CraigKColts: Daniel Adongo will add excitement across the globe with roster addition. He and Josh McNary have come long way to NFL.

@CraigKColts: Where Caesar Rayford captured some early attention from fans, D. Adongo has captured roster spot. Looking forward to see what he can do.

[TKnight24]

I don't think Mr. Grigson would set him up for failure by throwing him out there if he wasn't ready. At least I hope he wouldn't

Is Mcnary an ILB or an OLB or do the Colts think he can play both? Just curious because on the Colts roster they just have him as LB and not ILB or OLB.

[Balzer40]

I'll be surprised if Adongo is ever active on game day.

[TKnight24]

Honestly don't know. I guess he can play both. If someone watched the game, he got some burn but I don't know where he got the pt at. OLB or ILB

[JoKeR]

I want to see him throw someone around like he was still playing Rugby.

He started out as an OLB because I believe he was a DE at Army.  I believe he set the season sack record there.  However at some point through training camp they moved him to ILB.  Presumably he'd be able to play both but at the time we had better depth at OLB than ILB.

 

from wiki:

 

McNary finished his career as Army’s all-time leader in sacks (28.0) and tackles for loss (49), while adding 195 tackles (117 solo), nine passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He is the only player in school history to record two double-digit sack seasons and also held school records for the most sacks in a single game (4.0) and a single season (12.5).

we'll have to see if he's activated first on gameday. Maybe he'll knock someone's head off on special teams

Even the Colts Twitter page is excited

@Colts: It's been a long road, but Daniel Adongo has worked his way on to the #Colts Active Roster... #CINvsIND http://t.co/5PyzenHxaO

Found it!! He played & made his NFL debut Sunday vs the Titans at ILB

@KBowenColts: That's Josh McNary in his NFL debut with the quarterback hurry on 3rd-and-8. McNary was in the game for a banged up Jerrell Freeman

Ah ha. So yea I would say that he could play either ILB or OLB that will be nice to have.

Everyone loves an underdog, especially when he's a physical freak of nature.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

I'll be surprised if Adongo is ever active on game day.

More than Likely not he will probably take hughes or conners spot on the inactive list

[lollygagger8]

Per B/R app: 

 

OLB Daniel Adongo and Tackle Xavier Nixon activated to active roster. 

 

FB Robert hughes adn DT Jeris Pendleton signed to Practice Squad as well. 

 

Herron and Harvery went to IR

[lollygagger8]

Ah dang......too late. Please merge or delete 

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

More than Likely not he will probably take hughes or conners spot on the inactive list

 

So who all do you think will be inactive on Sun?  Are we even sure Conner is good to go for Sun?

[lollygagger8]

Adongo knows!! 

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

He's elevated not sure if he will be activated

[ColtsLegacy]

Adongo to the active roster:

Somewhere CanuckColt's head has exploded from rage.

[TKnight24]

Mario Harvey is on IR. I think Adongo will take his special teams spot. And boom herron was also a special teams player. I really believe Adongo will play

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

How long has Nixon Xavier been on the PS? 

[pgt_rob]

Um aren't most of our people on IR more towards the young end? So you were right but not who you thought would be the issues.

 

Well you missed part where I said or the players who are known to be injury prone - Ahmad Bradshaw & Donald Thomas. Then the older players I was thinking - Reggie Wayne and Mathis (who hasn't shown any decline this season).

[BOTT]

With RJF out Hughes should be active

[ColtsLegacy]

I'll be surprised if Adongo is ever active on game day.

I wouldn't, only because he could be a special teams stand out.

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

I agree with TK.

.....and the forum rejoices

[JoKeR]

[OffensivelyPC]

and now Adongo supplants Rogers as the forums favorite divine player.

Hey look, I'm pulling for the guy, but I very much doubt he sees any substantial playing time.  Probably won't play the next week or two, but even if he does, it'll probably only be special teams.  If he's lucky, he might see some time on the defense before the end of the seeason.  I'd be surprised if he played more than 10 plays in any one game.

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

Oh I didn't know that Thomas was injury prone. I thought it was just Bradshaw.

[Balzer40]

I wouldn't, only because he could be a special teams stand out.

 

 

 

Could be. I would like to see what he can do, but I still think he'll probably be inactive.
