The Indianapolis Colts activated linebacker Malik Jefferson to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and signed safety Will Redmond to the practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.
Jefferson is likely being called up to take the place of special teams linebacker Zaire Franklin, who tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the reserve list on Monday.
Jefferson spent the preseason with the Colts and has been on the practice squad for the entire season. He has yet to see any game action on the active roster.
Redmond, 27, was a third-round pick with the San Francisco 49ers in the 2016 NFL draft. He spent his rookie season in 2016 on the injured reserve list and the majority of the 2017 season on the reserve list as well before being waived in October.
Redmond has also spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs (2017) and Green Bay Packers (2018-2020).
