The Indianapolis Colts signed free agent Germaine Pratt to a contract on Wednesday and placed fellow linebacker Joe Bachie on injured reserve.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed on Pratt, however NFL Network reported it was a one-year contract.

Pratt was released by the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday. He will be reunited with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who held the same post when Pratt was with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2019-24.

Pratt, 29, was released by the Bengals in June and promptly signed a one-year $4.25 million contract with the Raiders. He had 25 tackles in four games (all starts) this season with Las Vegas.

Pratt had a career-best 143 tackles in 17 games last season, adding two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Bachie, who is nursing an undisclosed injury, had 26 tackles in five games (all starts) this season after signing with the Colts in May.

Bachie, 27, has 74 tackles in 56 career games (seven starts) with the Philadelphia Eagles, Bengals and Colts.
