The Indianapolis Colts placed defensive end Tyquan Lewis on injured reserve with an elbow injury sustained during Sunday’s win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Also Tuesday, the Colts (2-2) signed defensive tackle Adam Gotsis to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and signed cornerback Kelvin Joseph to the practice squad.
Lewis, 29, will have to sit out at least the next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 9 at Minnesota on Nov. 3.
Lewis started the first four games and recorded 17 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks. He has 112 tackles, 15 sacks, 10 passes defensed and one interception in 69 games (20 starts) since the Colts drafted him in the second round in 2018.
Gotsis, 32, was elevated from the practice squad on Sunday and had one tackle in his Colts debut. A second-round pick by Denver in 2016, he has 219 tackles, 10.5 sacks and four fumble recoveries in 122 games (54 starts) with the Broncos (2016-19), Jacksonville Jaguars (2020-23) and Colts.
Joseph, 24, previously was with the Colts’ practice squad in Weeks 2-3. A 2021 second-round pick by Dallas, he has 39 tackles and one fumble recovery in 31 games (three starts) with the Cowboys (2021-22), Miami Dolphins (2023) and Seattle Seahawks (2023).
