Christine Michael: Let go by Colts
The Colts released Christine Michael on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Michael somewhat surprisingly made the Colts' 53-man roster out of training camp, though he didn't have much of a role on offense once the season kicked off. He was active on Sunday versus the Eagles, but the veteran running back didn't see the field. The 27-year-old has 256 carries for 1,089 yards in his career and will look to join another team in need of backfield depth.

Colts' Christine Michael: No concussion symptoms
Christine Michael (concussion) was cleared to return to Thursday's preseason contest at Cincinnati, Andrew Walker of the Indianapolis Colts' official site reports.Initially ruled out with a concussion, Michael was in fact under evaluation for a head injury and didn't exhibit any symptoms.

During the lengthy absence of Marlon Mack (hamstring), Michael was impressing in both practices and games, seemingly locking down a 53-man roster spot in the process.
