Injury plagued Colts place two cornerbacks on IR

Published: Dec 06, 2011 at 01:39 AM

INDIANAPOLIS -- The winless Indianapolis Colts have put cornerbacks Jerraud Powers and Terrence Johnson on injured reserve, ending their seasons.

The moves were made Monday.

Powers started all 12 games this season, intercepted two passes and returned one for a touchdown before hurting his elbow in Sunday's 31-24 loss at New England.

Johnson played in 10 games, made two starts and had 33 tackles before getting injured Sunday. The Colts did not have an update on linebacker Pat Angerer, who led the NFL in tackles before getting hurt on the first play of the Patriots game, or his backup, A.J. Eads, also injured Sunday.

Indy claimed linebacker Zac Diles from Tampa Bay and waived tight end Mike McNeill. The Colts are likely to make more moves this week.
