The former Lexington Catholic and University of Kentucky star had played in both games for the Colts this season. He made three tackles in Week 1 against the Lions, and one in Week 2 against the Broncos.

Guy has played in 34 career NFL games — with five starts — and registered 43 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and 15 special teams stops in his time with Indianapolis (2014-16), the Jacksonville Jaguars (2013-14) and the Seattle Seahawks (2012).

Guy was originally selected by the Seahawks in the sixth round, 181st overall, of the 2012 NFL Draft.
