Today’s minor transactions:
Indianapolis Colts
Claimed off waivers (from Patriots): DT Eric Johnson II
Waived: S Marcel Dabo
Jacksonville Jaguars
Waived: TE Patrick Murtagh
Kansas City Chiefs
Today’s move by the Colts is a bit of a reunion, as Eric Johnson II was a fifth-round pick by the Colts in 2022. He spent his first two seasons in Indy, appearing in 28 games while compiling 18 tackles and one sack. He was waived at the end of the 2024 preseason and landed in New England, where he proceeded to get into 11 games for his new squad.
While Johnson has been buried on the depth chart and occasionally stuck on special teams throughout his career, he has gotten some run on defense. He got into a career-high 265 defensive snaps in 2023, although that dropped to 178 defensive snaps during his time with the Patriots.
