Deveron Carr signed to Washington practice squad

The two-year veteran cornerback (played at ASU from 2009-12) joined the practice squad on Monday after being cut waived/injured by the Indianapolis Colts during the preseason.

Carr will join collegiate teammates Rashad Ross and Shawn Luavao to become the team's third Sun Devil alum. Should he be placed on the active roster, Washington would possess the most active former Sun Devils of any team in the league (currently tied with the Denver Broncos - 2).

Jaelen Strong misses practice on Monday after scoring twice in NFL debut

Strong missed Monday's practice with an illness, per ESPN. After missing the first four games of his rookie season with the Houston Texans, Strong finally saw the field against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football.

The former Sun Devil hauled in two passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns on two targets, including a 42-yard Hail Mary reception before halftime. House of Sparky's Ryan Bafaloukos has a full report on his performance here.

Strong was also in attendance for ASU's 48-23 win over the Colorado Buffaloes.
