Colts place DE Tyquan Lewis on injured reserve; make roster moves

Why it matters: The Colts' defensive line has been hit hard by injuries, with Lewis becoming the third starting member to be placed on injured reserve.

Samson Ebukam suffered a torn Achilles during training camp, and DeForest Buckner has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with a high ankle sprain.
This leaves the Colts with significant depth concerns and potential challenges in generating pass rush.

What's new: Tyquan Lewis has been placed on injured reserve due to an elbow injury sustained during the team's recent win against the Steelers.

Lewis will miss at least the next four games, with a potential return in Week 9 against the Vikings.
In his first four games of the season, Lewis recorded 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Yes, but: The Colts have made some roster moves to address their defensive line issues:

They have signed defensive tackle Adam Gotsis to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
Cornerback Kelvin Joseph has been added to the practice squad.

By the numbers: A brief look at the statistics of the new additions:

Adam Gotsis has accumulated 219 tackles, 10.5 sacks, and four fumble recoveries in his career.
Kelvin Joseph, a 2021 second-round pick, has 39 tackles and one fumble recovery in his young NFL career.

What's next: The Colts will rely on their newly signed players to step up and fill the void left by the injured defensive linemen.

The team hopes that the additions of Gotsis and Joseph will provide depth and contribute positively to the defense.
The Colts will need their defense to remain strong as they continue their push for success in the competitive AFC.

The bottom line: Injuries have presented challenges for the Colts' defensive line, but the team is actively making moves to address the situation and maintain a competitive defense.
