Colts add three offensive linemen to practice squad to reinforce unit’s depleted depth

The Colts are replenishing their depleted organizational offensive line depth with some recent moves.

The Indianapolis Colts signed offensive guards LaDarius Henderson and Bill Murray, as well as offensive tackle Zach Thomas to their practice squad.

Regarding Henderson, the 6’4”, 309 pound offensive guard was selected by the Houston Texans in the 7th round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The former CFP National Champion and All-Big Ten offensive guard for Michigan has yet to appear in an NFL game. He was a member of the Cleveland Browns practice squad earlier this season.

Meanwhile, Murray at 6,3”, 321 pounds, is a former undrafted free agent who played from the New England Patriots from 2020-23 and spent time with the Chicago Bears and later, returned to New England on their practice squad. The former FCS All-American and 2x All-CAA member has appeared in 4 career games.

Lastly, Thomas is a 6,5”, 305 pound offensive tackle who was originally a 2022 6th round pick of the Chicago Bears. He later spent time with the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots, and Houston Texans organizations. The All-MW conference member has appeared in 17 career games.

Of course, the Colts have some injuries along their offensive line. Specifically, starting veteran right tackle Braden Smith (concussion/neck) was placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season. Adding further injury, starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann suffered an elbow injury last Sunday and didn’t return.
