Meanwhile, Mike Strachan has been cut by the Indianapolis Colts.

The wide receiver out of Grand Bahama totaled only five catches for 85 yards in a two-year stint in Indianapolis marred by injuries. Leaving him on the bubble to make a roster spot coming into training camp this year.

A coaching change from Frank Reich, who drafted him, to current coach Shane Steichen may have also played a role in his departure from the team.

During Strachan’s time with the colts, he was regarded as a hard worker showing a lot of promise in camp and in exhibition games, however, he was not able to overcome his injuries and get on the field for extended periods.
