The Indianapolis Colts re-sign a defensive end

The Indianapolis Colts are building a competitive culture in head coach Shane Steichen’s first year with the team. Steichen brought in quarterback Gardner Minshew to compete for the starting quarterback spot with what will likely be a rookie taken in the first round of April. The team also re-signed a defensive end who will compete for playing time next season.

According to Aaron Wilson with KPRC, the Colts re-signed Khalid Kareem for the 2023 season.
