Courtney Roby has been cut to make space for new returner Justin Forsett. The Indianapolis Star just did a big story on Roby making the roster. Oops. I feel bad about Roby being cut since he is from Indianapolis and grew up cheering for the Colts, but this is football. You can’t fumble kick returns when you are losing. Forsett is more of a TJ Rushing-style returner who isn’t as explosive as Roby but doesn’t fumble every time he is hit.
