Colts sign Anthony Walker Jr. to their practice squad, reuniting with a veteran LB who contributed heavily during his time in Indianapolis. Walker joins a depth chart anchored by Zaire Franklin, with Bachie expected to vie for snaps beside him. The move follows Colt’s prior waiver claims and signals Ballard’s continued emphasis on linebacker experience behind a relatively green core.

Walker’s latest stint includes stints with Cleveland, Miami, and Tampa Bay, capped by 68 tackles and an interception last season. His addition adds seasoned depth as Indianapolis cultivates a rotation behind Franklin, while younger veterans Segun Olubi and Cameron McGrone provide additional upside and cover behind Muma, Olubi, and Bachie as the season unfolds.

Colts finalize a 17-man practice squad after cuts, anchored by returning depth players and two notable taxi-squad additions. The new taxi pair are Ben Nikkel from Washington and Tyler Scott from Chicago, while the rest return in depth roles at LB, RB, OL, CB, TE, DE, DT, S and WR.

Ajiake, Bentley IV, Herbert, Johnson, Lammons, Mang, McKeon, Nikkel, and Scott headline the roster, with additional depth pieces shaping Indy’s Week 1 plans as injuries and matchups unfold.

Parsons moved to Green Bay, keeping him in the NFC. Week 4’s primetime clash with Dallas instantly jumps to the top of fantasy-watch lists for sack-heavy leagues. No. 1 suits him for GB as they push the Packers’ pass rush into the spotlight.

Last year Parsons had 12 sacks and 43 tackles, joining an exclusive club of 10+ sacks in four straight seasons alongside Freeney, Thomas, and White. The GB blockbuster also reshapes Cowboys’ defenders and GB interior pressure in future matchups.
