Perhaps of some interest to the Indianapolis Colts, the Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly released linebacker Germaine Pratt.

The Indianapolis Colts could use some linebacker help. Fortunately, new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo may have just been gifted a familiar face to work with, courtesy of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin had ankle surgery and could miss everything up until training camp, if not into it. Jaylon Carlies, another linebacker, continues to work his way back from shoulder surgery, too. Despite these factors and losses in free agency, the Colts didn't draft a linebacker until the seventh round this year.
