Colts send LB Morrison to Packers for CB Pipkins

The Green Bay Packers traded cornerback Lenzy Pipkins for linebacker Antonio Morrison in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts, general manager Brian Gutekunst announced Sunday.

Morrison, a fourth-round draft pick by the Colts in 2016, started 15 games for the Colts last season and made 108 tackles.

The Colts switched to a 4-3 defense this season with new coordinator Matt Eberflus, leaving Morrison stuck in a reserve SAM linebacker role.

Pipkin, 24, was an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State when he joined the Packers in May 2017. He played in 12 games as a rookie, making one start.

The Colts add needed depth in the secondary after corners Nate Hairston (hamstring) and Quincy Wilson (hand) sustained injuries in practice last week.
