The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent edge rusher Levi Bell, the team announced Wednesday.

Bell most recently spent time in the UFL with the Michigan Panthers for the 2023-2024 seasons. However, he spent the 2024 season on the injured reserve list, missing the entire campaign. In 2023, he recorded 4.0 sacks for the Panthers.

Bell also spent time on the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks and initially signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent rookie following the 2023 NFL Draft.

Bell was well-traveled in his collegiate career, spending time at Texas State (2022), Louisiana Tech (2020-2021), Tyler Junior College (2019) and the College of Idaho (2018).

The Colts most recently lost top pass-rusher Samson Ebukam to a torn Achilles.

In a corresponding move, the Colts waived guard Lewis Kidd.
