Former Indiana State Sycamore Johnathan Edwards was waived Monday by the Indianapolis Colts.
The move followed the Colts' 41-23 loss at home to Baltimore in Sunday's season opener. Edwards didn't play against the Ravens, and was among six Colts players declared inactive for Week 1. Indianapolis promoted Kenneth Harris from the practice squad prior to the game, with Harris then occupying Edwards' special teams roles.
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound Edwards was originally signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent May 9, 2025.
As a rookie, Edwards played in 14 games (with five starts) and registered 24 tackles (18 solo), three passes defensed and two special teams stops.
Collegiately, Edwards appeared in 45 career games at Tulane (2024) and Indiana State (2021-23) and recorded 124 tackles (86 solo), 1.5 tackles for loss, 22 passes defensed and one forced fumble.

The Indianapolis Colts have waived cornerback Johnathan Edwards, the team announced on Monday.
Edwards was inactive during Sunday's Week 1 game against Baltimore.
The Colts signed Edwards as a UDFA after the 2025 NFL draft. He would make the Colts' 53-man roster as a rookie and appeared in 14 games, which included five starts.
Edwards flashed his upside and potential here and there, but he was also quite inconsistent as well. During his rookie season, Edwards allowed 17 completions on 27 targets, giving up almost 15 yards per catch.
In the preseason this summer, things didn't get much better. Edwards allowed a completion rate of 60% on 10 targets, while surrendering a hefty 19.3 yards per catch, with only one pass breakup over two games.

Rutgers football is listed as 3.5-point underdogs in next week's matchup vs Boston College, according to FanDuel, after suffering an embarrassing 37-21 loss to UMass last week. The line initially opened with the Eagles as 6.5-point favorites, but quickly moved to where it is now after Boston College suffered a 34-15 blowout loss to Cincinnati.
In their loss against the Minutemen, Rutgers' defense surrendered 197 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and 40 rushing yards to the Minutemen's William Watson, who saw his first major amount of playing time in two years after transferring from Virginia Tech. They also surrendered 200 rushing yards and one touchdown. On the flip side, the Knights' starting quarterback, Boston College transfer Dylan Lonergan, completed 16 of his 29 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions. Running back Antwan Raymond averaged just three yards per carry in this matchup as he ran for 42 yards on 14 attempts.
In their loss against Cincinnati, Boston College starting quarterback Mason McKenzie completed 18 of 35 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He finished the game with an overall quarterback rating of 108.7. The Eagles' leading rusher against the Bearcats was Evan ******* ens, who carried the ball 11 times for 47 yards and one touchdown, while their leading receiver, Johnathan Montague, caught two out of three passes for 55 yards and one touchdown.
While racking up more first downs than their opponent, Boston College turned the ball over on downs three times and added an interception and a fumble lost, giving their opponent extra possessions. The Eagles' offensive line also surrendered 4 sacks, while the entire team committed 7 total penalties.
Much like Rutgers' two meaningless scores at the end of their game against the Minutemen, the Eagles also scored a last-second touchdown to make the ending score look better than the game actually was.

After a breakout freshman season returning punts and kicks Florida football sophomore wide receiver Vernell Brown III earned preseason All-SEC third team honors as a return specialist over the summer.
The 5-foot-11, 178-pound Brown is expecting another big year as a return man for the Florida Gators in 2026. Florida football coach Jon Sumrall has made special teams a priority since first arriving at UF, adding his former special teams from Tulane, Johnathan Galante and special teams **** yst Greg McMahon, a former special teams coordinator with the New Orleans Saints from 2008-16.
"I just want to take advantage of my opportunities," Brown said. "But as far as third team All SEC, you know, that's fuel to the fire for me. There are three teams and the third team isn't the best team. So that's just fuel to the fire."
Brown ranked sixth in the SEC in punt return yardage at 11.7 yards per return last season. Overall, Brown tallied 261 return yards across 18 kick and punt returns and was one of two freshmen and 18 players in the FBS to have five punt returns of 20-plus yards.
Entering 2026, Brown will mainly focus on punt returns, as cornerback J'Vari Flowers and running back London Montgomery are penciled in to return kickoffs. But Brown said he would return kickoffs again if he's needed.

The Colts on Sunday made a flurry of transactions to trim their roster to 53 players ahead of Sunday's 6 p.m. deadline.
The roster may change in the coming days, as any waiver claims the Colts are awarded from Sunday's initial round of league-wide cuts will be processed Monday, according to the Colts.com report.

The hope is that preseason action can provide some answers to pressing questions that a team may have. But for the Indianapolis Colts, Saturday's performance against Atlanta only raised more questions around three specific position groups.
The depth of the cornerback, defensive end, and offensive line units was brought into focus during that game and, if called upon this upcoming season, could be a potential problem for the Colts.
Whether or not those around Laiatu Latu can generate steady pressure this season has been an unknown all offseason. The preseason hasn't provided many answers either. The combination of Caden Curry, George Gumbs, Micheal Clemons, and Jaylahn Tuimoloau played a total of 58 pass rush snaps and generated three pressures. Tuimoloau and Clemons didn't have any.
Laiatu Latu will lead the way and Arden Key will start opposite of him, but defensive end is a heavily rotated position with four or five players seeing steady snaps. Can the Colts get consistent production from the rotational defenders at this position?
The depth of this unit was thought to be quite good during the offseason, but the preseason has proved otherwise. The trio of Mekhi Blackmon, Rob Carter Jr., and Johnathan Edwards all took their lumps on Saturday and throughout the preseason.

The Green Bay Packers worked out multiple receivers today and re-signed receiver Kisean Johnson after a tryout, following short-term injuries to receivers Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed. When the Packers announced their transactions after practice Sunday, which Johnson participated in, it was news that Green Bay waived two players, not one, while adding Johnson, giving the team an open roster spot on the 91-man roster. The players waived were cornerback Marlon Jones and safety Johnathan Baldwin, who both were given injury designations. They will revert to the Packers' injured reserve if they pass through waivers unclaimed. From there, Green Bay can decide whether to end their seasons by keeping them on the injured reserve or pay them out an injury settlement, which would make them free agents while they are rehabbing their injuries.
As I mentioned in The Feed when the news dropped that the Packers had an extra roster spot to fill, this seemed like a move that a team would make before they claimed someone on waivers themselves. It turns out that I was on the right path, as Green Bay was awarded another receiver, Chris Hilton Jr., off waivers today. He should make his Packers debut in Monday's practice, which is open to the public.
Hilton played five years at LSU before going undrafted in the 2026 class, despite participating in four different all-star games (Hula Bowl, American Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl) and receiving a combine invite. At the combine this year, he measured in at 6'0"-flat and 188 pounds and recorded a 4.41-second 40-yard dash.
The former high school All-American had 41 receptions for 780 yards and six touchdowns in his SEC career, but only registered 10 receptions for 122 yards as a redshirt senior, as the Tigers struggled in the passing game after quarterback Garrett Nussmeier injured his abs, which severely limited his play. Nussmeier, who had some first-round hype coming into the 2025 season, wound up going undrafted and signing with the Kansas City Chiefs this spring.
Hilton began his NFL career with the Washington Commanders, but he was let go yesterday, a day after the team signed receiver Stefon Diggs to a one-year, $12 million contract.

One player the Philadelphia Eagles have been consistently linked to during the 2026 NFL offseason is Maxx Crosby.
The Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher is clearly a trade block candidate for the struggling franchise, and the Eagles have always shown plenty of interest in taking on top edge rushers when they are available.

A former Ohio State Buckeye is retiring from the NFL after 12 seasons in the league. Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, better known as "Big Hank," is calling it a career.
Hankins earned a starting spot in the trenches by his sophomore year at OSU. The **** e eater tallied 67 tackles with 11 tackles for loss and three sacks. In his junior season, Hankins totaled 55 tackles with four tackles for loss and one sack. He would enter the NFL draft and become a second-round pick of the New York Giants.
Over the course of the next 12 years, Hankins would play with a total of five different teams, including the Colts, Raiders, Cowboys, and Seahawks. He racked up 433 tackles with 44 tackles for loss, 18.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and 13 pass breakups in 169 games. He finished his career with Seattle, although he would miss the entire 2025 season due to a back injury. After being waived in December, Big Hank decided to hang it up for good.
Hankins earned All-Big Ten and All-American honors while wearing the Scarlet and Gray.

With less than two months to go until Utah opens the season against Idaho on Sept. 3, college football is drawing near.
Morgan Scalley will open his first fall camp as head coach on Aug. 3, which starts the countdown to kickoff.
While Utah brings back key pieces like quarterbacks Devon Dampier and Byrd Ficklin, running back Wayshawn Parker and linebacker Johnathan Hall, there's plenty of new faces on the hill as the Scalley era begins, including offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven.
With fall camp beginning Aug. 3, here's a look at four of the most intriguing storylines to follow.

BOSTON — There are few wins the Baltimore Orioles needed more than the one they secured in Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.
A loss would’ve dropped them to five games back of Boston for the third wild-card spot in the American League. Instead, they jumped out to an early lead and let Kyle Bradish do the rest. Baltimore (50-53) cruised to a 5-1 win that ended the Red Sox’s historic 15-game winning streak and ensured it would leave Boston a manageable three games out of a playoff spot with the trade deadline 12 days away.
The Orioles, having lost 6-3 in Game 1 of the doubleheader, put up four runs on Red Sox opener Eduardo Rivera in the first inning. They reached base five times in the frame, including a two-run single by Dylan Beavers and an RBI double by Johnathan Rodríguez for his first hit as an Oriole, chasing Rivera from the game before he could record a third out.
It was all Bradish would need. Making his first start since signing a five-year, $90 million extension with the Orioles on Saturday, the right-hander kept the red-hot Boston lineup at bay with six innings of one-run baseball. Bradish allowed just four hits and a walk with four strikeouts, generating all nine of his whiffs with his curveball (five) and slider (four).
The Red Sox’s only run against him came in the fourth, when first baseman Willson Contreras doubled with two outs and scored on a single by designated hitter Masataka Yoshida. Bradish didn’t allow another runner to advance past first base the rest of the way.

The Orioles jumped on Boston’s starter Eduardo Rivera early and used that early offensive explosion to propel them to victory. After Taylor Ward barely missed a leadoff double into the right field corner, Pete Alonso started the rally with a ground rule double over the low wall in right. Gunnar Henderson then worked a four-pitch walk to bring former Red Sox Tyler O’Neill to the plate. TON hit a hard grounder to third, but Caleb Durbin’s throw to second was bobbled by Anthony Seigler, leaving everyone safe and the bases loaded.
After Christian Encarnacion-Strand struck out, Dylan Beavers stepped into the box looking to make sure the early opportunity wouldn’t go to waste. Rivera’s first-pitched slider bounced well in front of home plate, skipping past catcher Carlos Narváez and allowing Alonso to score from first.
Rivera went back to slider 2-2, but the breaking ball caught too much of the plate, and Beavers flipped it into center field for a two-run single. Johnathan Rodríguez then capped off the rally, lining a ball just over the head of Jaren Durran in left and off the Green Monster. The double scored Beavers from first, gave Baltimore a 4-0 lead and chased Rivera after just 41 pitches and two outs.
The early four-run lead was more than enough for Kyle Bradish, as he continued his recent run of good form. The newly minted $90M man, in his first start since his extension, breezed through the 1st inning on nine pitches. He got Seigler to ground out to second on two pitches, got Ceddane Rafaela to fly out to right on three pitches and punctuated the inning with a punch out of Wilyer Abreu.
The Red Sox made Bradish work a little harder in the 2nd, making him throw nine pitches to get the first two outs before getting their first base runner via a Durbin walk. Duran then sent his own hard liner to left, but it was hit right at Ward to end the inning.

Following a few weeks of OTA practices, ESPN's Indianapolis Colts reporter Stephen Holder provided a few updates on the defensive side of the ball.
Most notably, he shared some insights into how things are unfolding at the safety position.
Leading the way will be Cam Bynum, but with Nick Cross leaving in free agency, the starting spot next to him is up for grabs. Competing for those snaps will be AJ Haulcy, Johnathan Owens, Juanyeh Thomas, and Hunter Wohler.
However, according to Holder, while there is still a long ways to go before these position battles are determined, Haulcy may have the early advantage.
"Another possible rookie starter is A.J. Haulcy, a third-round choice who appears to have the inside track at replacing Nick Cross at strong safety," Holder wrote.
