Colts release McFarland, Morris

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - The Indianapolis Colts released veteran defensive tackle Anthony McFarland and linebacker Rob Morris on Wednesday.
"Booger" McFarland was a first-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1999 NFL Draft. The Colts picked him up from the Bucs in October of 2006 in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2007 draft. He started 11 regular- season games for the Colts that season, and was a key contributor down the stretch and in Indy's victory over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI.
McFarland suffered a knee injury early in camp in 2007 and missed the entire season.
Morris, picked 28th overall in the first round by the Colts in 2000, started at middle linebacker until late in the 2006 season, when moved to outside linebacker. He started two games in 2007 before suffering a season-ending knee injury against Denver on September 30.
