Wooden came to Indianapolis as a depth piece along the interior, but the Colts are choosing to go a different direction as they finalize the 53-man roster. Moves like this are common on cutdown day when a recently acquired player fails to outplay incumbents, but the timing so soon after the trade makes it one of the more notable names to surface in this hour.
