 Ed Johnson-DL- ColtsOct. 20 - 1:08 pm et
Colts president Bill Polian says NT Ed Johnson's release was "directly related to weight" issues.
Coach Jim Caldwell had previously called it a "performance" issue, and Polian confirmed that Johnson's "effort" and "production" had dropped since Week 1. He was reportedly 15-to-20 pounds over his prescribed 295-pound playing weight. Johnson should draw interest from teams desperate to fix their run defense.

 Ed Johnson-DL - Colts Oct. 15 - 11:41 am et

Colts coach Jim Caldwell says NT Ed Johnson was released for performance rather than character issues.
It's a little hard to believe Caldwell considering Johnson's history and the fact that Johnson started each of the Colts' first five games. Johnson probably angered coaches with his work habits. Second-round rookie Fili Moala, who has yet to play a down all season, is now a part of the rotation.

Colts waived NT Ed Johnson.
The move was originally reported by Profootballtalk.com and confirmed by the team Wednesday. Johnson started each of Indianapolis' first five games, helping the club to rank 14th in the league against the run, which is very good for usually leaky Colts. Johnson's behavioral problems date back to Penn State. He probably violated a team rule, and was re-signed before the season on a no-tolerance basis. Details figure to emerge soon.

The Colts have reportedly released DT Ed Johnson.
Johnson was cut by the Colts last season after a marijuana possession arrest. It's not known why he got the axe this time around, as he had been a key cog in the improved run defense. The Colts are deeper up front this year, but Johnson's loss will hurt.

 Ed Johnson-DL - Colts Sep. 16 - 8:23 pm et

Colts activated DT Ed Johnson from the reserve/suspended list.
Johnson moves into the starting lineup right away, next to fellow 300-pounder Antonio Johnson. The Colts should have a better run defense after letting Maurice Jones-Drew go for 97 yards in Week 1. They get Miami on Monday.
 Ed Johnson-DL - Colts May. 7 - 10:48 am et

Colts DT Ed Johnson will open the season on a one-game suspension if he makes Indianapolis' 53-man roster.
Knowing he won't be able to help until Week 2 can't help Johnson's chances of winning a spot in Indianapolis' suddenly deep interior tackle corps.
