The Indianapolis Colts have promoted defensive tackle Adam Gotsis and cornerback David Long Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster, the organization announced Saturday.
With so many injuries on the Colts defensive line, they will need some depth against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gotsis was joined to the practice squad last week.
Meanwhile, cornerback Kenny Moore II (hip) has been ruled out of the game, so Chris Lammons will most likely start as the nickel defender, with Jaylon Jones and Dallis Flowers on the outside.
Long was acquired to the practice squad right before the regular season began, so he’s had a few weeks to learn Gus Bradley’s defense.
Furthermore, the Colts made no adjustments to the injury statuses of questionable players like as Ryan Kelly (neck), Braden Smith (knee), and Tyquan Lewis (calf, wrist), thus they remain game-time decisions.
