Covington was signed to the Colts' practice squad on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Covington joins the Colts after being waived by the Cowboys in April. Indianapolis can promote up to two players from its practice squad in any given week, but that could be too quick of a turnaround this week for Covington given how long he's been without a team.

The Cowboys waived Covington on Thursday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Covington notched two tackles across three games with the Cowboys last season, and he also spent time on the practice squad. The 2018 sixth-round pick will now look for a chance as a depth linebacker and special-teams contributor with another club.
