INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts safety LaRon Landry was a full participant at practice Thursday. Landry, who just completed a four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, is currently on the exempt/commissioner's permission list. The Colts have until 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 3 to release a player and put Landry on the active roster in order for him to play against the New York Giants that night. If not, the team has until 4 p.m. on Nov. 4 to release Landry, put him on the active roster and release another player. “Well, we’re going to be evaluating him," general manager Ryan Grigson said. "We have the exemption on him this week. We can take it off at any time up until Monday. But I think just like all the players, we have to scrutinize and look at him from every angle, see where his legs are at, today’s our first real day of practice, and just kind of take it from there and have those discussions. We’ll take it day by day.” Grigson declined to go into details on what Landry’s explanation was for using performance-enhancing drugs. “I don’t want to talk about it,” Grigson said. “That’s in-house stuff. That’s family-type stuff. Those are things that happen within a family, so I’ll leave it at that.” Landry was welcomed back with open arms despite selfishly letting the franchise down by getting suspended. “I know he feels like he let us down in a sense,” linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said. “We welcome anybody -- we don’t judge -- with open arms. It’s good to have him back and it’s time for us to push forward and get him back in the swing of things.” Sergio Brown will continue to start at safety until the Colts feel like Landry's ready to move back into that role.
