Genard Avery Latest News
Let go Saturday
Avery was waived by the Colts on Saturday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. Avery logged just two snaps with the Colts earlier this season and became unnecessary depth with the return of Tyquan Lewis. Avery has played on four different teams since being drafted by the Browns in the fifth round back in 2018.
Past foot injury
Avery (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Avery missed the Indianapolis' Week 8 loss to the Texans due to a foot injury, however, Wednesday's full practice suggests that he's now moved past the issue. The Memphis product has only suited up for one game this season and is expected to continue serving as a depth piece on the Colts' defensive line as the season progresses.
Will miss Week 8
Avery (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Texans. Avery didn't practice at all this week due to a foot injury. He's played in only one game so far this season, logging two defensive snaps Week 5 against the Jaguars, so Avery's absence Sunday isn't likely to have much of an impact on the Colts' defensive game plan.
Gets spot on main roster
Avery was signed to the 53-man roster from the Colts' practice squad Tuesday. Avery's move to the active roster comes as Indianapolis placed DeForest Buckner (ankle) on IR. The 29-year-old last suited up for the Buccaneers in 2022, where he appeared in nine contests, making five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks.
Back in the mix
Avery (leg) recorded four tackles (three solo) during Saturday's preseason win versus the Cardinals. Not only has Avery managed to recover from the LCL and meniscus issues he'd been nursing since last August, but he was often in the middle of the action during Indianapolis' second preseason contest. It would not be shocking if he found his way onto the Colts' final 53-man roster for 2024.
Dealing with upper leg injury
Avery missed practice Friday with an upper leg injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. The 29-year-old missed all of last season after suffering a training camp knee injury that involved his LCL and meniscus, so any injury setback is a worry. He may miss Sunday's preseason game as a result.
Back at practice
Avery (knee) is practicing this week at Colts training camp, Sports Illustrated's Jake Arthur reports. The 29-year-old missed all of last season after suffering a training camp knee injury that involved his LCL and meniscus. Avery is competing for a role off the edge for the Colts this summer. He has 8.5 career sacks but just 4.0 since the start of the 2019 campaign.
Will get another chance with Indy
Avery (knee) re-signed with the Colts on Wednesday for a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Avery signed with Indianapolis last offseason, but he suffered an LCL and meniscus injury that required season-ending surgery during training camp. He'll now get a second chance with the team and will likely be working to earn a depth role on the defensive line.
