The Indianapolis Colts have strengthened their offensive line by signing tackle Mason Brooks to their practice squad, while letting go of veteran defensive end Derek Rivers. Brooks, who was undrafted in 2023, has had a tumultuous journey through the NFL, previously being with the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers.

With starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann dealing with a knee injury, Brooks may be called upon to provide crucial depth. Although he hasn't played in a regular season game yet, he has experience from the preseason.
