Tennessee signed Bachie (foot) from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Bachie suited up for five regular-season games with the Colts this year prior to being placed on IR and then cut with an injury settlement. Across that span, he racked up 26 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed. Now healthy, he'll be eligible to contribute as a member of Indianapolis' linebacker corps behind Cody Barton and Cedric Gray.

Joe Bachie: Cut loose by Colts
Rotowire
Indianapolis released Bachie (foot) from IR with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Bachie played a key role for the Colts early in the campaign, racking up 26 tackles and one defensed pass while playing 157 defensive snaps over the team's first five games. However, he landed on IR due to a foot/toe issue Oct. 8 and has now parted ways with the club. It's unclear how much time Bachie will need to recover from the injury.

Colts' Joe Bachie: Struggles with penalities
Rotowire
Bachie had three total tackles and battled down a pass attempt in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. However, he committed three penalities and allowed receptions on both passes targeted at him, according to Pro Football Focus.
Bachie played on just 19 of the team's 68 snaps on defense which may have been a byproduct of his mistakes, but also just to give him some rest amid a blowout win. He could be at risk of a downturn in playing time in Week 6 as a result of the miscues, however.

Rotowire
Bachie started at linebacker opposite Zaire Franklin and had six total tackles in Sunday's win over Miami.
Bachie is one of two linebackers on the field in Indy's base defense and played on 22 of the defense's 47 snaps. He'll likely come off the field in nickel and dime formations, which will limit his fantasy upside.

Rotowire
Bachie looks set to start opposite Zaire Franklin at linebacker, The Athletic reports.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Out for rest of regular season
Rotowire
The Bengals placed Bachie (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
Bachie suffered a groin injury against Dallas this past Monday, and head coach Zac Taylor said early this week he'd be out multiple games. That's now official, as Bachie will be required to sit out the remainder of the regular season while on IR. Bachie could theoretically return for the playoffs, but the Bengals are very unlikely to qualify given their current 5-8 record.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Out again Week 15
Rotowire
Bachie (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Tennessee.
Bachie hurt his groin on Monday Night Football against Dallas, and head coach Zac Taylor indicated Wednesday that the linebacker is facing a multi-game absence. As such, it's no surprise that Bachie has been deemed out ahead of Sunday's matchup. His absence will be felt primarily on special teams, as Bachie has logged just 33 defensive snaps over 12 games this season.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Set for return Week 13
Rotowire
Bachie (hip) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Bachie missed Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to the Chargers due to a hip issue, but the team's Week 12 bye gave him the time to recover enough to return to the field. The veteran linebacker's presence would typically primarily impact the special-teams unit, as Bachie has logged just 18 defensive snaps over 10 games this season. However, he could be asked to step into a more significant role Sunday if Logan Wilson, who is questionable due to a knee injury, is unable to suit up.

Bengals' Joe Bachie: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Bachie (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Bachie appears to have sustained a hip injury in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Ravens, and he's likely a longshot to play Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice. Undrafted rookie Maema Njongmeta could see increased work on Cincinnati's defense as a rotational linebacker if Bachie is sidelined in Week 11 as expected.
