Tennessee signed Bachie (foot) from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie suited up for five regular-season games with the Colts this year prior to being placed on IR and then cut with an injury settlement. Across that span, he racked up 26 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed. Now healthy, he'll be eligible to contribute as a member of Indianapolis' linebacker corps behind Cody Barton and Cedric Gray.

Indianapolis released Bachie (foot) from IR with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie played a key role for the Colts early in the campaign, racking up 26 tackles and one defensed pass while playing 157 defensive snaps over the team's first five games. However, he landed on IR due to a foot/toe issue Oct. 8 and has now parted ways with the club. It's unclear how much time Bachie will need to recover from the injury.

Bachie (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his injury, Bachie was one of the Colts' top reserve linebackers, recording 26 total tackles and one pass defended over 157 defensive snaps. He's now forced to miss at least Indianapolis' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 10 mathcup against the Falcons. While Bachie is sidelined, newly signed Germaine Pratt is likely to operate as the Colts' top reserve inside linebacker.

Bachie had three total tackles and battled down a pass attempt in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. However, he committed three penalities and allowed receptions on both passes targeted at him, according to Pro Football Focus.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie played on just 19 of the team's 68 snaps on defense which may have been a byproduct of his mistakes, but also just to give him some rest amid a blowout win. He could be at risk of a downturn in playing time in Week 6 as a result of the miscues, however.

Bachie started at linebacker opposite Zaire Franklin and had six total tackles in Sunday's win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie is one of two linebackers on the field in Indy's base defense and played on 22 of the defense's 47 snaps. He'll likely come off the field in nickel and dime formations, which will limit his fantasy upside.

Bachie looks set to start opposite Zaire Franklin at linebacker, The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts mostly use a two-linebacker formation, so Bachie will be a key defender in Indy's defensive scheme. He only started two games in his first five seasons. Segun Olubi and Cameron McGrone made the 53-man roster as backup linebackers.

Bachie signed with the Colts on Wednesday, Joel Erickson of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie has seemingly recovered from the groin injury that landed him on Cincinnati's injured reserve last December and will now head to Indianapolis. The 27-year-old racked up three tackles (three solo) across 12 games during the 2024 campaign as he saw the majority of his playing time on special teams and will likely have a similar role with the Colts.

The Bengals placed Bachie (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie suffered a groin injury against Dallas this past Monday, and head coach Zac Taylor said early this week he'd be out multiple games. That's now official, as Bachie will be required to sit out the remainder of the regular season while on IR. Bachie could theoretically return for the playoffs, but the Bengals are very unlikely to qualify given their current 5-8 record.

Bachie (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie hurt his groin on Monday Night Football against Dallas, and head coach Zac Taylor indicated Wednesday that the linebacker is facing a multi-game absence. As such, it's no surprise that Bachie has been deemed out ahead of Sunday's matchup. His absence will be felt primarily on special teams, as Bachie has logged just 33 defensive snaps over 12 games this season.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Bachie is dealing with an adductor injury and is expected to miss multiple games, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bachie seems like a potential candidate for injured reserve after getting hurt in Monday's win over the Cowboys. The 26-year-old linebacker has seen most of his playing time on special teams this season while totaling three tackles over 12 games.
