Having been claimed from the Jacksonville Jaguars from final 53-man roster cuts, Muma appeared in 5 games for the Colts this season, recording 5 tackles (3 solo). The 26-year-old linebacker was waived by the Colts on November 1st before later being re-signed to the team’s practice squad prior to New England poaching him.
As for Walker Jr., the 30-year-old, former 5th round pick of the Colts had yet to appear in a game for Indianapolis so far this season. After being released by Tampa Bay in late August, he was re-signed to the Colts practice squad on September 1st before the Bucs now claimed him and brought him back.
The veteran linebacker made 48 starts for Indianapolis from 2017-20, recording 343 tackles (229 solo), 3.5 sacks, 3 interceptions, 11 passes defensed, a forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries during that same span.
With Jaylon Carlies surprisingly a healthy scratch last weekend, the Colts don’t necessarily have the same dire need at linebacker as the defense did to start the season, largely because of injuries and a lack of suitable replacements back then. The signing of veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt has helped a lot in that regard.
That being said, we wish both of these linebackers well at their next NFL stop, just not against the Colts.
