Colts waived or released RBs Darren Evans and Deji Karim, WRs Jeremy Ross and Kashif Moore, TEs Andre Smith and Kyle Miller, OTs Mike Tepper and Steven Baker, C Zane Taylor, DTs Jason Shirley and Chigbo Anunoby, LBs Greg Lloyd and Jerry Brown, G Hayworth Hicks, Ss Latarrius Thomas and Mike Newton, DE James Aiono and CB Brandon King. |

A seventh-round pick of the Eagles last season, Lloyd was waived at final cuts before joining the active roster in November. |

Sat Oct 22 2011 | 19:37 | Darren Evans cut with Addai ready to play |
Colts RB Darren Evans was waived on Saturday. |
Consider this more confirmation that Joseph Addai (hamstring, questionable) will play. Even though the Saints are ranked 30th in YPC allowed (5.12), Addai is not a recommended play coming back in the second week of what was thought to be a multi-week injury. The threat of a committee approach or an in-game setback just doesn't justify the potential upside, here. |

Sun Aug 14 2011 | 09:30 | Darren Evans makes a mark in preseason debut |
The Indianapolis Star believes undrafted rookie RB Darren Evans may have given the Colts "something to consider" in their preseason opener. |
Evans rushed for a team high 52 yards on eight carries last evening, though all but one of his carries came in the second half. If he makes the team, it will likely be to play special teams. |
