Wilson stands 6'11" and weighs 310 pounds, bringing size and athleticism to the practice squad. Wilson played college basketball at Oregon State (2018-2019), Idaho (2019-2020), Washington State (2022-2023), and Minnesota (2023-2024). As for football, Wilson played in the offensive trenches for the Cougars from 2020 to 2022. Lastly, Wilson has special teams allure for the Colts and also played that role for the Cougars.

Kicker Shrader will look for a new suitor after starting for Indianapolis against the Houston Texans in week one. Shrader went 3/3 on extra points during his relief of starter Matt Gay. Indianapolis is showing complete confidence in the veteran kicker Gay by not holding onto his backup Shrader. While Gay is 0/2 this year from 50+ yards, he's 5/5 from 30-39 yards, making him 5/7 overall.

We'll see what else happens with the Colts' roster ahead of their week six AFC South clash with the 1-3 Tennessee Titans. With so many injuries to navigate, it'll be interesting to see which starters can return and who will need backup help in a crucial road match that the Colts can't afford to drop.
