Chicago’s practice squad now includes:

Speed, 23, spent five years at Georgia before transferring to Michigan State for his final season. The Patriots drafted him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
He signed a four-year, $3.97 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $133,332 but was waived in October of last year and was quickly claimed by the Colts. He was among Indianapolis’ final roster cuts coming out of the preseason and re-signed to their practice squad.
The Colts cut him loose, once again, last week.
In 2023, Speed appeared in five games for the Patriots and eight games for the Colts, recording nine tackles and one tackle for loss.
