The Colts were faced with a possible shortage in the secondary, so they addressed it early in the week.

The team announced they had promoted cornerback Frankie Williams from the practice squad, and released tight end Chase Coffman.

Coffman was brought back two weeks ago when the Colts ran short at that position, but other needs became more important.

Cornerback Vontae Davis suffered a concussion last week, and as they prepare for the Packers, the Colts need all the help they can get in the secondary.
