The Indianapolis Colts activated defensive end Arden Key from injured reserve on Tuesday and signed linebacker West Weeks to their 53-man roster. The team also placed tight end Mo Alie-Cox and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither on injured reserve.
Key's return bolsters the Colts' pass rush after his recovery. He brings edge pressure that the defense needs for critical third-down situations. The Colts placed Alie-Cox and Davis-Gaither on injured reserve, requiring them to miss at least four games.
Weeks addresses the linebacker depth created by Davis-Gaither's injury. The Colts will integrate Key back into the defensive scheme and have Weeks learn the team's playbook and special teams assignments ahead of their next contest.
