The Indianapolis Colts are expected to bring back a familiar face to the defense, agreeing to a one-year deal with edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad on Friday.

How Muhammad fits within the rotation of the defensive line remains to be seen, but he’ll likely be fighting for a roster spot at the back end of room.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news Friday:
#Colts reportedly adding Al-Quadin Muhammad.
The 28-year-old started 9 of 16 games last year for the Bears, and prior to that he spent four straight seasons in Indy. Muhammad started all 17 games for the Colts in 2021.

After one season in Chicago, AQM is back with the Colts. I assume this will be in a rotational role on the DL. https://t.co/f6QvY9nlnv

I’m ok with this in the sense that the Colts aren’t going to compete this year and he’s not a horrible player. Actually liked him his first stint in Indy https://t.co/y88VkKDuwR
