Colts elevate TE Erik Swoope to 53-man roster for Week 3 Youth T.Y. Hilton Jersey , waive CB Lenzy Pipkins Today the Indianapolis Colts made a move that we expected given the current state of the injury report for the team. What we didn’t know, is what corresponding moves might be made in order to make room for him on the active 53-man roster.Tight end Erik Swoope was elevated to the active roster as the Colts are shorthanded at the position heading into their Week 3 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. It came as a bit of surprise recently when the Colts waived the fifth-year pass catcher, but the team was able to get him back on the practice squad.The former UDFA was signed by the Colts in 2014 as a project and before missing the entire 2017 season, he looked to be finally putting it all together. This offseason the team added Eric Ebron to the mix through free agency which took a bit of the shine off of Swoope’s skill set. Swoope did have a nice camp White Skai Moore Jersey , and will be a much-needed addition to the tight end group who is missing its mainstay in Jack Doyle to a hip injury suffered in Week 2 against the Redskins. The position most widely considered to be a strength for the season has taken an odd shape only three weeks in. Ebron isn’t a blocker and has been used more in the first half of the first two games. Ryan Hewitt is almost strictly being used as a blocking tight end, and Swoope adds his tools which fall somewhere in the middle there. It will be very interesting to see how the group stands up in the running game, and how well they’ll replace Doyle being Andrew Luck’s security blanket in the passing game.The Colts also waived cornerback Lenzy Pipkins, which could hurt the Colts secondary depth with Quincy Wilson already being designated as OUT in Week 3. Additionally Jordan Wilkins Jersey , the team has brought back QB Phillip Walker to the practice squad to fill Swoope’s void there.I think it’ll be interesting to see if the Colts hang on to Swoope going forward being as they’re likely not going to feel comfortable with only three tight ends on the roster. Despite their confidence in Doyle, carrying only three at the position has seemed to be quite thin.Roster Moves: Colts Trade LB Antonio Morrison For CB Lenzy Pipkins The Indianapolis Colts are finally making a move for a cornerback. The team announced today that they have traded LB Antonio Morrison to the Green Bay Packers for CB Lenzy Pipkins. Antonio Morrison has seemed like the odd man out this offseason as the team focused on bringing in more youth and speed to this linebacker core. Morrison, the team’s 4th round pick in 2016, tallied 153 total tackles in 19 starts over the past two seasons.Lenzy Pipkins also seemed to be in a very similar situation in Green Bay as he has been running with the third and fourth team corners this preseason with Green Bay’s additions of Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson. The 6’0” 195 pound corner went undrafted last year but performed really well in his limited appearances. He tallied 14 total tackles and 1 pass deflection in 12 games played.For the Colts this move is more about adding more players to the secondary. The team’s top two corners Authentic Eric Ebron Jersey , Nate Hairston and Quincy Wilson, are currently out with injuries and the depth in the group was questionable to begin with. With Pipkins, they get a player who played well last season who can also contribute on special teams and push for a final roster spot. Overall I like the trade as it also paves the way for exciting rookies Matthew Adams and Skai Moore to make the squad as linebackers.
