mmmm Turkey

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Stampede Blue reports a number of interesting roster changes today:

1) The Colts waived HB Mike Hart and re-signed DE Josh Thomas. Hart was then signed to the practice squad, replacing TE Colin Cloherty. It would appear that they wanted Thomas to spell Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. Thomas is no great talent and has limited upside, but he works hard and knows the defense as well as anyone. Hart still seems to be getting over last year's ACL injury and wasn't really a vital cog on offense (two snaps in the third quarter against San Francisco) or on specials. That they put him on the PS indicates that he's still part of their future.

2) CB Keiwan Ratliff was released by the Steelers and ILB Adam Seward was released by the Jaguars. With all the injuries and inexperience the Colts have at cornerback, it wouldn't be that surprising if the Colts brought Ratliff back. He has no speed or upside, but he's smart and played well for them last year. Seward, on the other hand, might have a harder time finding any interest, even though Tyjuan Hagler is on IR.

3) A number of ex-Colts found jobs this week: OLB Jordan Senn is Panther, CB Michael Coe is a Jaguar and OLB Rocky Boiman is a Steeler. Of them, I think only Senn should think of putting down roots.
