What happened: Indianapolis signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and punter Thomas Morstead to its practice squad. The club released wide receiver Eli Pancol from the practice squad to clear room.

Why it matters: Indianapolis adds experienced The moves keep game-day elevation options open during the regular season.

What to watch: Hardman and Morstead are eligible for elevation ahead of Sunday if needed. The game-day receiver rotation and punt unit will show whether either gets the call.
