The Indianapolis Colts have officially adjusted their roster on Thursday, waiving defensive end Viliami Fehoko Jr. and linebacker Joseph Vaughn, per @AdamSchefter. The team also announced the release of guard Bill Murray and the waived-injured designation of tackle Jack Wilson.
Viliami Fehoko Jr., a former standout at San Jose State, was originally a fourth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2023 NFL Draft before landing in Indianapolis. His departure marks a shift in the defensive end room as the Colts evaluate their pass-rushing depth. Meanwhile, Joseph Vaughn exits the linebacker corps after joining the squad as an undrafted free agent earlier this year.
The release of Bill Murray comes as a notable veteran move. Murray had previously spent time with the New England Patriots and successfully made the rare transition from the defensive line to the offensive line. Jack Wilson, who was waived with an injury designation, faces a procedural path where he will either be claimed by another team or revert to the Colts' injured reserve list.
These moves are part of the ongoing roster maintenance common during the NFL calendar as front offices look to optimize their 53-man rosters and practice squads. No corresponding signings have been officially announced by the Indianapolis Colts at this time.
