The Indianapolis Colts announced their practice squad elevations for their Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

The team is elevating G Ike Boettger and WR Amari Rodgers.

We have elevated G Ike Boettger and WR Amari Rodgers to the active roster from the practice squad for #LARvsIND.

We also signed WR KJ Hamler to the practice squad and released CB Darren Hall from the practice squad.https://t.co/3b58bDHMNq

The most interesting of these two elevations is WR Amari Rodgers. The team had elected to elevate Juwann Winfre the previous three weeks to start the season. This week, they would have had to sign him to their active roster for him to dress for Week 4. They instead chose to elevate Rodgers for his first game with the Colts since signing with the team this offseason.

The elevation of G Ike Boettger this week seems similar to what the team has done all season with Quenton Nelson. If he is able to go as expected, Boettger will still be inactive even after getting the elevation.
