The Colts have reduced their roster count from 79 players to 75 without waiving or releasing anyone, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, who reports (via Twitter) that Indianapolis has made the following roster moves:
Placed on injured reserve list:
- Vick Ballard, RB
- Ulrick John, OT
- Deji Karim, RB
Placed on reserve/PUP list:
- Stanley Havili, RB
The three players placed on IR won’t have to pass through waivers, since the Colts waited until the first roster cutdown date to move them to the injured reserve list. As for Havili, he’ll be eligible to return to the team’s active list after the season’s first six weeks.
