Indianapolis signed the four-year veteran, and after Week 1 inactive status, Muma has earned playing time and contributed. He made a tackle in the Colts’ 31-27 come-from-behind victory over Arizona on Sunday, giving him a tackle in four of the last five games while playing on special teams and getting reps at linebacker.

The surprising 5-1 Colts travel to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Below is a list of all the former Wyoming Cowboys and how they performed in Week 6:
