This move comes shortly after news broke that the Bears were releasing defensive end Terrell Lewis, who had an impressive training camp and preseason. Former fifth-round pick Trevis Gipson was also a surprise cut.

Kareem also had an impressive preseason with the Colts, where he recorded a sack in all three preseason games. He also totaled 11 pressures, six tackles and eight stops.

Kareem joins a revamped defensive end group that includes Yannick Ngakoue, DeMarcus Walker, Dominique Robinson and Rasheem Green.
