The Colts released McCain (undisclosed) off injured reserve Tuesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain made it through final roster cuts, but was subsequently placed on injured reserve. The skilled pass rusher recorded five sacks as a reserve last year for the Chargers, but had some off-the-field problems during the offseason.

The Colts placed McCain (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Colts will lose a skilled pass rusher, as McCain made five sacks in a reserve role with the Chargers last season. However, he was charged in June with two counts of misdemeanor battery stemming from a January incident, and it's unclear if the league planned on dishing out additional punishment.

McCain has been charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery from a January incident, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The complaint is from Jan. 7 in Los Angeles, California and alleges McCain grabbed the neck of a woman. The Colts are aware of the situation and have said they're waiting for the investigation to take its course before taking internal actions. McCain is scheduled for an arraignment hearing July 13, and he claims innocence on his personal Twitter page.

McCain signed with the Colts on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving a tender from the Chargers in March, Los Angeles withdrew its offer in April, effectively making McCain an unrestricted free agent. McCain played a very limited role in 2017 with just 241 defensive snaps, but he still produced an impressive 28 tackles -- six for a loss -- and five sacks. The Colts are shifting from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme, and McCain will compete with Jabaal Sheard and former linebacker John Simon for a place in the starting lineup.

McCain will become an unrestricted free agent when the Chargers officially withdraw their qualifying offer, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Chargers placed a right of first refusal tender offer on McCain back in March, but evidently the team intends to backtrack which will effectively make the 26-year-old a free agent. The rotational defensive end registered a career-high five sacks in 2017, but three of those came in the beginning three weeks of the season.

McCain, a restricted free agent, received a right of first refusal tender on Wednesday, Ricky Henne of the Chargers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The tender all but locks McCain up with the Chargers for another season, as the team has the right to match any contract offered to the defensive end. The 26-year-old rotational lineman registered a career-high five sacks last season, but none of those came after Week 7.

McCain (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

McCain was inactive in Week 11 but a limited practice Monday and a full practice on Tuesday put him on track to play in Week 12. The backup pass-rusher will likely see the field in a typical role as he looks to build on the career best 5.0 sacks he's racked up to this point in the season.

McCain (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

McCain plays sparingly on defense, but he has accrued a career-high five sacks this season. He's mainly used in certain pass-rush situations, yet he doesn't have the consistency of an IDP starter. Expect Jeremiah Attaochu to play more defensive snaps in McCain's absence.

McCain is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills with a quadriceps injury.

EDGE Analysis

McCain's only practice reps this week came in a limited session Friday, so he is likely a game-day decision at this point. Hayes Pullard (neck) and James Onwualu (quadriceps) are listed as doubtful, so if McCain is unable to play Sunday the Chargers' linebacking corps will have their depth severely tested.

McCain recorded four tackles (three solo), two sacks and two forced fumbles in the 21-0 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McCain was the main beneficiary of a near constant pass rush created by Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, as the 25-year-old was able to take down quarterback Trevor Siemian in the middle of a collapsing pocket on multiple occasions. Despite being a situational pass rusher, McCain has now recorded five sacks, easily a career-high for the fourth-year pro.
