On Sunday, offensive tackle Luke Tenuta was on the Indianapolis Colts' initial 53-man roster. On Monday afternoon, he was released to make room for defensive back Kapena Gushiken, who was claimed on waivers.
Then on Monday evening, Tenuta was signed to the Colts' practice squad.
After releasing him earlier this afternoon, the Colts have now signed T Luke Tenuta to the practice squad, the team has announced.

Still feels like there’s need on the offensive line with only 8 players on the active roster. Something to monitor.
Tenuta was in line to be the Colts' swing tackle off the bench on the 53-man roster, and he still very well could be.
As of now, there are only eight offensive linemen on the active roster, and the next man up currently behind Bernhard
Raimann and Jalen Travis may very well be Matt Goncalves -- the team's starting right guard.
Unless an addition is made between now and Week 1, Tenuta is a primed practice squad elevation to provide tackle depth. Practice squad players can be elevated up to three times over the course of a season.
Offensive tackle is one of a few positions on this roster where the depth is very much in question.
