INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The Indianapolis Colts announced a major roster change Wednesday morning.
The Colts signed kicker Matt Stover to fill in for Adam Vinatieri as he heals from surgery.
Vinatieri underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to his right knee to remove a piece of cartilage. He’s expected to miss four to eight weeks.
Stover played in the NFL between 1991 through 2008 with the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
And, the Colts cut defense tackle Ed Johnson. 24-Hour News 8 sports anchor Anthony Calhoun reported Tuesday night a source said Johnson had been cut.
In May of 2009, the team re-signed Johnson.
The tackle from Penn State started 16 games in 2007 and one game in 2008 for the Colts. He was waived September 11, 2008 after being arrested for possession of marijuana.
