The Indianapolis Colts have bolstered their linebacker corps by signing Joe Bachie, who brings familiarity with new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. After going undrafted in 2020, Bachie carved a niche as a special teams standout during his tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Primarily contributing to special teams, Bachie played 220 defensive snaps with Cincinnati, offering depth following the departures of EJ Speed and Grant Stuard in free agency. His experience in Anarumo's defensive scheme could provide valuable insight as the Colts implement their new system.
