They added former UDFA Johnson to the roster AGAIN this season...he will be in the pee in a cup program so could be unavailable at any time...
“We will, effective tomorrow, waive defensive tackle Ed Johnson," team president Bill Polian said. "We consider every violation of a team rule or NFL policy on an individual case-by-case basis. If club discipline is appropriate, we consider the past record of the individual involved and the extent to which team rules were violated when imposing penalties.
"In this particular case, Ed was well aware that his past history required him to be in complete compliance with Club rules. He was repeatedly told this during the off-season. Along with his teammates, he was reminded as recently as yesterday of Coach Dungy’s rules of behavior. Unfortunately, he chose to violate those rules. Given the circumstances surrounding Ed’s original employment with the Colts, we feel in this case that we have no choice but to take this action.”
The "circumstances" mentioned by Polian were in reference to his troubled career at Penn State — where he was expelled from school in 2005 and kicked off the team before the Nittany Lions' bowl game in 2007.
Then of course there was Doss' gun charge, and Marvin's mystery shooting, and it turned out Rhodes 4 game suspension after signing with Oakland (which meant he was in the program while at Indy).
