The Indianapolis Colts today elevated outside linebacker Daniel Adongo to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and waived running back Josh Robinson.

Adongo, 6-5, 252 pounds, has spent the entire season on the team’s practice squad a year after being on the Colts Injured Reserve list in 2014. In 2013, he spent the first 12 games of the season on the Colts practice squad before being signed to the active roster and playing in two games. Prior to joining the Colts, he played for the Southern Kings of Super 15 Rugby, the highest level of pro rugby in the world. He also played in the 2012 Varsity Cup for the University of Pretoria Tuks.

He graduated from Strathmore High School (Nairobi, Kenya) in 2006 and attended the University of South Africa the following year. Adongo also attended the Sharks Academy, a rugby academy accredited by South African Rugby, and made his senior debut in the 2010 Vodacom Cup. In addition, he played for the Kenya Harlequins junior team before going on to play for Kenya’s U-18 and U-19 national teams.

Robinson, 5-8, 221 pounds, has played in five games for the Colts in 2015 and totaled 17 carries for 39 yards and six receptions for 33 yards. He was selected by the team in the sixth round (205th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Robinson is absolutely eligible for the PS.

 

 

Does this year count as an "accrued NFL season ?" If yes , i'm not sure he would be eligible.

 

 

 

 

In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements:

  • Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);
  • Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than 8 games;

I know one fan that this might push over the edge. lmao. Let's see what he can do

I don't know about "push over the edge" but I am really excited to see him get playing time, even if it is just ST.  Of course, the pessimistic side of me says that he'll get manhandled if he sees any defensive snaps, at least initially.  

 

RELEASE THE ADONGO

lmao best GIF i've seen on these threads since the Tim and Eric mind blown GIF or the lawn mower flying away.  I'm clearly not very well versed in the GIF universe, but I always enjoy a good, well timed GIF that just so happens to be a better response than words otherwise could.

You are correct and in the event that you didn't know why as you don't explain why.. it's because he's been inactive for the past few games . I think if this were not the case , he would not be eligible. The rules states that he needs to be on the active list not the 53 as I was thinking.

This move is rather surprising... Has Adongo shown something at LB while on the PS?  Is he just a special teams guy?  We haven't lost any special teams guys so I am curious... I figured we would sign a DL to the active roster... and I suspect we might still...

 

Should be interesting to see what Adongo can do, if he gets any playing time.

Adongo has played in 2 games since 2013? Man, hoping the Colts see something here from the PS from the last couple years. Understand the strategy here ... a solid work in progress can and should lead to a shot. Let's see what he's got. At 6'5 & 250, seems as though he could be used in a variety of situations, IMO.

Adongo was 280+ as of this offseason.

    • Jim Bob and Steichen has a ton of opportunities to design mismatches because the RPO with AR and JT is a nightmare for any DC.  AR is the one player that no other NFL team has been able to recreate. 
    • To me, AR looks bigger physically. At 21 he should make a huge impression on our rookies. AR looks huge!
    • As many times as Brady and company got caught cheating I don’t know how anyone can put him #1.  Especially a Colts fan. Just my two cents.
    • I’ve been dealing with sciatica issues for the last several months now. Started in late February randomly one day. In my lower back on the left side, and it goes down into my buttock and even down into my upper left leg some days. Some days it’s in my leg and not my back at all.  It’s entirely random. Some days I wake up and I feel alright. Even if I don’t do anything at all that day other than move around the house and take it easy, the next day I can wake up and I have to hunch my shoulders over and look down at my shoes to stand up straight with no pain. There have been days where I’ve been in terrible pain and had to do a ton of walking at work, and then the next day I actually feel pretty good. Some days when it’s in my leg I can use a heating pad under my left buttock and upper leg and it makes walking a little easier, and then some days I could set my backside on fire and every step is as painful as the last.    My point being, whatever it is he’s dealing with back there, if it’s anything like this, every day can be wildly different, and for no rhyme or reason. And this has been a thing with him since March. He was questionable down the stretch at the end of the season with this issue as well, which leads me to believe that it is indeed some kind of similar issue where it’s just luck of the draw how it bothers him day to day. Some days he’s not even questionable at all.    My doctor has told me to stretch and use heat or ice (ice has done nothing for any of it other than just make me cold,) and try to rest it as much as possible, but it’s looking this this may have to head to surgery. I go later this month to start figuring out those next steps. It’ll be telling to see if Haliburton participates in USA basketball this summer. Whatever his issue is isn’t bad enough to keep him off the court, but that could be time he’s going to have to devote to resting up or other treatment instead of going to France and taking part in the games to get fully healed up.    It’s almost like the shooting motion was bothering him last night. He's never been afraid to let them fly, even when he’s not hitting. But last night, even in a close late game, he wasn’t taking them. And the other guys weren’t even passing to him like they normally do. Once the ball left his hands at the top of the key it usually didn’t make its way back around to him. The only reason they wouldn’t get the ball into his hands more, especially late in a close game, would be because they knew he was dealing with something.    I absolutely believe he’s dealing with something because I’m living it myself. But carlisle needs to man up and use the hook in a situation like last night where he was inhibited instead of using him as a decoy. McConnell is good enough that we don’t need a decoy out there. 
    • These are the Reception Perception charting numbers for Mitchell:     They also have him charted in the 83-85th percentile against man and against press coverage.    edit: I just realized you asked for Pierce. Sorry... don't have those numbers.    edit 2: found this on Pierce as a prospect:
