INDIANAPOLIS(AP) -- The Indianapolis Colts have claimed defensive end J.D. Skolnitsky off waivers from the Washington Redskins. Skolnitsky was on the Redskins' practice squad last season after being signed as an undrafted free agent. The team announced the move Tuesday. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive end played at James Madison and fits the Colts' model for defensive linemen: undersized and quick.
