Boyd signed with the Colts on Friday, UPI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team opted to waive linebacker Curt Maggitt in a corresponding move with the addition of Boyd. The 27-year-old played 26 career games, including four starts, in three seasons with the Packers. He tallied 43 tackles and one pass defensed in the process before ultimately being waived while recovering from an ankle injury. The Mississippi State product will look to compete for a spot on the Colts' final roster.

Boyd was released by the Packers on Monday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was limited to just two games last season by an ankle injury, but it was thought that he would have a role on the Packers' defensive line in 2016 after appearing in 15 games and starting four the year before. It's not clear where he stands health-wise, but there's a good chance he hooks on with another team in the near future.

Boyd's (ankle) MRI on Monday revealed torn ankle ligaments in addition to a broken small bone, thus casting doubt over his availability for the remainder of this season, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was previously thought to have escaped serious injury, but upon Monday's MRI revealing torn ankle ligaments, Boyd's condition appears worse than hoped. With a broken ankle bone as well, Boyd may now be sidelined for the remainder of this season, potentially leaving the Packers without a member of their defensive line rotation.

Boyd suffered a small bone break in his ankle during Sunday night's win over the Seahawks, but is not expected to be sidelined long-term, NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was forced to exit Sunday night's contest with what was feared to be a serious injury, but it appears the damage done is less than initially expected. While a more definitive timetable for Boyd's eventual return should be released soon, the Packers will be relieved that he'll likely not be out long-term.

Coach Mike McCarthy thinks second-year DL Josh Boyd is capable of taking a "huge step" in 2014. "I think Josh definitely has the flexibility," McCarthy said. "He's shown he can play the nose. He needs to take a huge step, and I think he'll be one of those players that does in his second year." Boyd, the 167th pick last April, played just 114 defensive snaps as a rookie. But with free agents B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett expected to move on, Boyd and Datone Jones will take on increased roles.

The Packers are giving fifth-round DL Josh Boyd a look at five-technique and nose tackle in their rookie minicamp. The No. 167 overall pick, Boyd will spend his first year developing behind contract year starters B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett. The Packers plan to use Boyd at end in their base defense, and move him inside as a nickel pass rusher. It's a role that nearly every defensive lineman is asked to do in Dom Capers' 3-4 scheme.

Packers signed fifth-round DT Josh Boyd to a four-year contract. At 6-foot-3, 310, Boyd possesses size to play five technique or nose tackle in Green Bay's 3-4. Boyd will develop behind B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett, and first-round pick Datone Jones. Raji and Pickett are entering contract years.
