Colts: linebacker Shaun Phillips released

INDIANAPOLIS - As their effort to renew a fledging pass rush failed to work out as planned, the Colts released linebacker Shaun Phillips on Monday, according to the Indianapolis Star. 

Phillips, who led the Broncos with 10 sacks last season, featured in five regular season games for the Colts, securing seven tackles, and in all their three postseason appearances this year, adding another stop.

An 11 year league veteran, he has totaled 561 tackles, 81.5 sacks, 22 forced fumbles, and 10 recoveries. In 121 starts, he had seven interceptions.

In 10 postseason career starts, the former Purdue Boilermaker notched 49 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 14 playoff contests.
