Mitch King Returns To Colts, But On The Practice Squad
Yesterday, prior to the good news regarding Javarris James was reported, we noted that the Colts had cut Mitch King to make room on the active roster for players like Aaron Francisco and Mike Newton. On-time Stampede blue writer and longtime Mitch King love child uber fan, Joe Baker, was likely distraught when the news of King's termination from the roster was made public.
Well, today, Joe can smile again because Mitch is back with the team. The Colts have signed King to their practice squad.
We wrote at the time of King getting cut that the Colts liked him and that, contrary to what some have said, he's played well. He hasn't lit the world on fire or anything, but his interior rushing skills are improving and he's getting near the QB (when he isn't blatantly held, of course).
The Colts, currently, have five six safeties on the roster, including Bob Sanders (whose been out since Week One). I suspect the someone like Mike Newton or DaJuan Morgan won't last past this weekend on the active roster. This means that we could see Mitch, or Tyjuan Hagler, back on the active roster soon.
Again, like Joe, I still hold out hope that Mitch King can develop into a good interior rusher for the Colts. He has the physical tools and the desire. If guys like Daniel Muir and Fili Moala can figure out how to stop the run, we might see more third and long situations requiring a rush tackle.

There are 6 safeties on the roster
Including Sanders – we’ll see how long that lasts.
Bethea, Francisco, B. King, Morgan, Newton and Sanders
Francisco is NOT a safety
They can list him at whatever they want – but if Franny is lined up at safety – boy are we in trouble….
Damn straight.
Special teams addition onryyyy.

our roster
looks like a game of musical chairs, trying to patch up after all the injuries. If we hold things together for this season, I think that does speak a lot to the quality of coaching and Polian that they can keep finding guys to patch up these holes.
I suspect we will start Brandon King at safety, but may end up actually playing with 3 corners and 1 safety at times as well.
I really do think our D-line is almost more of a worry the way our divisional rivals have been able to run against us.
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
would like to see Mitch and Hagler
back on the roster
