Rotowire
The Colts cut Pennix from the practice squad Saturday.
Pennix signed with the Colts' practice squad Oct. 1. Although Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Jaguars due to a mild high-ankle sprain, the Colts have opted to elevate Evan Hull from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as the No. 3 running back behind Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson. Once he clears waivers, Pennix will explore his options and look to catch on with a team in need of backfield depth. The move corresponds with Indianapolis signing corner Alex Johnson to the practice squad.

Trent Pennix: Back with Indy

The Colts signed Pennix (groin) to the practice squad Tuesday.
Adding Pennix to the practice squad gives the Colts some backfield insurance after top running back Jonathan Taylor suffered a mild high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers. Pennix signed with Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent in May, but he was let go with an injury settlement in mid-August after injuring his groin during the preseason. If Pennix does get called up to the active roster due to Taylor being sidelined, the former would serve as the Colts' No. 3 running back behind Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson.
