Former Ball State and current Indianapolis Colts defensive end Jonathan Newsome has survived the first round of NFL training camp cuts.

With rosters having to be trimmed to 75 players by 4 p.m. ET yesterday, the Colts had to drop 11 players from its roster.

Newsome is listed as one of 11 remaining defensive linemen on the roster, and his ability to play on the line, as a linebacker and on special teams will play a role when final roster cuts are made on Aug. 30. 

As a senior at Ball State, Newsome started 11 games, registering 64 total tackles, eight sacks and two forced fumbles.
