Colts reached NFL roster limit by waiving 1, putting ex-Army player on exempt list
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Indianapolis Colts got down to the league's 75-man roster limit by putting receiver Nathan Palmer on waivers, linebacker Josh McNary on an exemption list and rookie safety John Boyett on the non-football injury list.
Palmer was expected to miss four to six weeks with a sprained MCL and will go on injured reserve if he clears waivers.
McNary was placed on the reserve-military list, giving the Colts a temporary roster exemption. The list is for military players who report after June 1 and do not play in preseason games. McNary spent the past two years fulfilling his service commitment after graduating from West Point.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Boyett is recovering from injuries to both knees that limited him to just one game at Oregon last season.
