Jalen Collins, a one-time second-round pick of the Falcons who recently completed serving his fourth suspension, was signed to the Colts practice squad.
The Colts released quarterback Phillip Walker from the practice squad to make room for Collins.
Collins, 6-foot-1, 203 pounds, played in 24 career games (eight starts) with the Falcons (2015-17). He compiled 43 tackles (40 solo), 2.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions and 10 passes defensed. He started three playoff games, including Super Bowl LI.
Collins was selected 42nd overall in 2015, but couldn’t stay off the NFL’s suspension list.
Collins has served four suspensions for violations of the NFL’s substance-abuse and performance-enhancing drug policies. The Falcons placed him on waivers last November.
