Roster Moves: Colts get much needed help at RB from Robert Turbin Indianapolis Colts Womens T-Shirt , waive DE Tarell Basham The Colts made some big moves today in preparation for their Thursday night matchup against the New England Patriots. First, running back Robert Turbin has been elevated to the active roster after being suspended for the first 4 games of the season. Turbin provides a tough downhill runner that the Colts lack, and is the kind of reliable runner they desperately need tonight. Having missed time, he will likely have limited snaps, but works well situationally as a short yardage back and will definitely make an impact on the game. Additionally, they have elevated CB Lenzy Pipkins and LB Skai Moore to the active roster. They’ll provide much needed depth at two positions where injuries have left the Colts pretty thin. The Colts signed Skai Moore as an undrafted free agent and saw him perform well in his role while they were without Anthony Walker Jr. during the preseason. Walker has come back and played really well, but it is good to see Moore make his way back to the active roster to bolster the linebacker room. Hopefully that move isn’t related to Darius Leonard’s availability tonight.Lenzy Pipkins was acquired in the Colts’ trade with the Packers in which they sent Antonio Morrison to Green Bay. He has been back and forth from the practice squad to the active roster Indianapolis Colts Hats , but tonight could see a chance to make an impact with the absence of Quincy Wilson, Kenny Moore, and with Nate Hairston still listed as questionable. The Colts will need all the help they can get in tonight’s game, and hopefully these guys can take advantage of this opportunity to show what they can do.Correspondingly the Colts have waived two defensive ends, Tarell Basham and Al-Quadin Muhammad. Basham, the Colts’ 3rd round pick from 2017 has been unable to crack the roster, never really showing the flashes that prompted the Colts selecting him. It was initially thought that the scheme defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus was going to implement would favor Basham’s strengths Indianapolis Colts Womens Hoodie , but he has been unable to make any impact and has been surpassed by rookies and free agents on a line that has been largely effective without him. In his time with the Colts Basham has played in 16 games, has 5 total tackles, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble. Al-Quadin Muhammad was brought in off waivers back in September after the Saints, who drafted him in the 6th round of 2017’s draft, released him. In his time with the Colts this season he played in 4 games and recorded 6 total tackles.Based on the way the Colts have bounced players back and forth between the active roster and practice squad, this is by no means an indication that either player will be out of work for long. Time will tell if they get a second chance. Colts fans have proven pretty resilient this past season. Despite the team having just 1 win heading into week 6 Womens Customized Indianapolis Colts Jerseys , the FanPulse survey showed that Colts fans were still fairly confident in this team’s direction, sitting at 84% heading into their game against the Jets. After a frustrating loss that saw them give up 42 points to a team led by rookie quarterback Sam Darnold, Colts fans have suffered their biggest drop in confidence yet this season. They now sit at 61% heading into a critical home game against the Buffalo Bills. Their AFC South opponents have had no such confidence from their fan bases. Texans fans have been curled up in the fetal position since week 2, which was the last time their confidence rating broke 30%. Maybe someone should tell them that they’re winning the division. Although we’re talking about the Texans here, so maybe they just found the survey confusing?How Colts and Texans fan confidence comparesTitans fans saw their confidence come crashing down after being shut out by the Ravens last week. A source has reported that they will be reviewing the film “Remember the Titans” and executing the fictional team’s entry dance for their next game to see if that helps. If they are really lucky, Marcus Mariota might be able to feel his fingers at some point this season.Even the Jaguars fans who were riding high as the new top dogs of the AFC South have seen their confidence plummet after back to back double digit losses and ceding the division lead to the Texans. Star cornerback Jalen Ramsey was reportedly heard wimpering in the locker room about how both the Chiefs and Cowboys were overrated.How Titans and Jags fans’ confidences compares.Somehow in this mess of a division, the Colts have still got confident backing from their fans. The obvious answer there is that Andrew Luck is good enough to boost the belief of even the most curmudgeonly Colts fan and push them to believe the team can turn it around if they can get some guys back healthy. The other possibility is that fans are just preparing to submit their negative surveys www.coltscheapshop.com , but drop their phones at the last second. You know, like basically the entire Colts receiving corps. Whatever the cause, it will be interesting to see how fan confidence holds up if the Colts sustain a home loss to the Bills on Sunday.
