The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Javarris James to the active roster and dumped the contract of linebacker Tyjuan Hagler.
James is the cousin of the Colts' career rushing leader, Edgerrin James, and spent the entire preseason with Indy. He was released Sept. 4 and joined New England's practice squad two days later.
James was released by New England on Tuesday night and was immediately signed to Washington's practice squad. After practicing with the Redskins on Wednesday, the Colts signed him to the active roster. That's three teams in three days.
I was looking at info on Quinn Porter and seen this news. (just extra info to follow below)

A fourth-string running back signing isn’t big news. But the addition of Javarris James to the Colts may tell us a bit.
First, the corresponding cut was Tyjuan Hagler. He was brought in as emergency help for a dinged up linebacker corps. The Colts clearly feel better about that situation with Clint Session back in the lineup after a couple missed games with a hamstring injury.
Second, Donald Brown’s injury appears a concern. He was out last week and didn’t practice Wednesday with a hamstring. Dan Dakich of 1070 The Fan in Indianapolis suggested last week that Brown’s injury was a lot more than minor. James could rank behind Joseph Addai and Mike Hart with Brown hurt and Devin Moore, a returner first and foremost, finished for the year.
Third, maybe they just liked the kid. They had to cut him a while back, and have seen him with the Patriots and on the Redskins practice squad since. Bill Polian doesn't sign a lot of players off of other team's practice squads. He feels a bit as if it's poaching. When he does it, it's usually a big combination of need and like.
I noticed this on Yahoo: He'll likely take over kick return duties with Devin Moore out for the season with a shoulder injury.<-- I guess makes sence
fwiw Hart didnt practice Thur. (new knee inj.)?
