The Indianapolis Colts have placed defensive end Tyquan Lewis on injured reserve due to an elbow injury sustained during their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

In addition, on Tuesday, the Colts (2-2) have signed defensive tackle Adam Gotsis to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and have also added cornerback Kelvin Joseph to the practice squad.
