Joe Bachie: Everything you need to know

The Lions signed Bachie on Wednesday. Detroit will be Bachie's fourth team in as many years. He's logged regular-season snaps, mostly on special teams, in each of his seven seasons since he made his pro debut with Philadelphia in 2020. The Lions lost veteran starter Alex Anzalone to the Buccaneers in free agency back in March, so there could be room for Bachie to stick on the 53-man roster in a depth role in 2026.

Tennessee signed Bachie (foot) from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Bachie suited up for five regular-season games with the Colts this year prior to being placed on IR and then cut with an injury settlement. Across that span, he racked up 26 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed. Now healthy, he'll be eligible to contribute as a member of Indianapolis' linebacker corps behind Cody Barton and Cedric Gray.

Indianapolis released Bachie (foot) from IR with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Bachie played a key role for the Colts early in the campaign, racking up 26 tackles and one defensed pass while playing 157 defensive snaps over the team's first five games. However, he landed on IR due to a foot/toe issue Oct. 8 and has now parted ways with the club. It's unclear how much time Bachie will need to recover from the injury.
