In a move that could potentially bolster their defense, the Indianapolis Colts have decided to elevate defensive end Genard Avery and safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers.

Known for his ability to make plays on the field, Avery has amassed 100 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, five passes defensed, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and six special teams stops.
On the other hand, Harrison recently signed with the Colts’ practice squad after going through the team’s offseason program and training camp. With previous experience playing for the Colts, Browns, and Jaguars, Harrison has proven himself in the NFL with 74 career games and 48 starts. His stat line speaks for itself, with 238 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 25 passes defensed, seven interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and five special teams stops.
Coach Frank Reich expressed his confidence in both Avery and Harrison, stating, “We believe they can make an immediate impact on our defense and help us secure a victory against a tough Packers team.” The decision to elevate these two players showcases the Colts’ commitment to building a strong and competitive roster as they aim for success in the upcoming game.
