The Indianapolis Colts signed defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon to the practice squad on Monday afternoon, but the team worked out four other prospects in addition to Kpassagnon.

The Colts hosted linebacker Rashad Weaver, defensive end Casey Toohill, linebacker Grayson Murphy, and cornerback LaMareon James for a tryout.

Weaver was originally a fourth-round draft pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2021, where he spent three seasons. He was waived before the 2024 season kicked off and has since had short stints with the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Rams, New York Jets, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Weaver's best season came in 2022, when he started four games for the Titans and recorded 27 total tackles (seven for loss), 5.5 sacks, six passes defended, and two forced fumbles.

He spent the 2025 offseason with the Jets before being released on an injury settlement. In two preseason games, he recorded two total tackles.

He was claimed off waivers by the Washington Commanders (then the Washington Football Team) in his rookie season. He started 14 games in Washington, filling in behind Chase Young.

In his 71 career games, Toohill has recorded 100 total tackles (11 for loss), eight sacks, three passes defended, and four fumble recoveries. He spent the 2025 offseason with the Houston Texans before being waived during roster cuts.
