George (back) was released by the Colts after coming to terms on an injury settlement Monday.
EDGE Analysis
George served a reserve role in Indianapolis last season, but was unable to stick with the team after suffering a back injury in the preseason. The fifth-year pro is now free to suit up this season, provided he can get healthy and find a depth role elsewhere in the league.

George is dealing with an apparent back injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news comes at a particularly disgruntling time for George who finds himself headstrong in the midst of a position battle at the moment. While the extent of the injury is not yet known, any and all missed time won't bode well for George's chances of earning a roster spot as a reserve linebacker.

George recorded 23 tackles (19 solo) and a half-sack over 16 games with the Colts in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
George mostly served in a reserve role for the Colts this season, but did earn a start in Week 2. The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his two-year contract with Indianapolis and is likely to serve a similar role in 2018, assuming he remains with the team.

George (neck) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With the Colts playing on Thursday night in their Week 15 loss to the Broncos, George wasn't able to rally from the neck injury on a short week. The additional few days off appears to be all George needed to heal up, setting him up for a return Saturday against the Ravens. Though he's seen most of his action on special teams in recent weeks, George could pick up more snaps at inside linebacker Saturday following starter Jon Bostic's (knee) recent placement on injured reserve.

George was signed by the Colts on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
George appeared in 15 games for the Buccaneers last season, but recorded just seven tackles. The Colts currently have a healthy corps of linebackers, but George figures to provide depth throughout training camp with a slight chance at making the team's final roster.

George was waived by the Cowboys on Tuesday, Jon Machota of Dallas News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old appeared in 15 games for the Buccaneers last season. Although he might not be in Dallas this year, all it takes is one other team to show interest and George could find a new home sooner than later.

Jets signed fifth-round ILB Jeremiah George to a four-year contract.
George lacks prototypical size for a 3-4 inside 'backer, but is an explosive athlete with a chance to develop into a quality sub-package defender with sideline-to-sideline range and cover skills. The Jets need to begin thinking about life after David Harris. Demario Davis has also been fairly underwhelming.
