AP source: Colts sign Fisher to fill need at left tackle

<p>INDIANAPOLIS &mdash; The Indianapolis Colts may have found their new left tackle, signing free agent Eric Fisher on Monday, according to two people with direct knowledge of the negotiations.</p>
<p>They requested anonymity because the Colts have not officially announced the move.</p>
<p>Terms of the deal were not immediately available.</p>
<p>Kansas City selected Fisher with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 draft and moved him to right tackle as a rookie. But he switched back to the left side in 2014 and became a mainstay for the Chiefs and a two-time Pro Bowler.</p>
<p>But he missed the Super Bowl after tearing his Achilles tendon. In March, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told reporters Fisher could return by mid-August.</p>
<p>If he does, the Colts might plug Fisher into Anthony Castonzo’s old spot. Castonzo retired in January and the other four starters on Indy’s offensive line are returning.</p>
<p>Finding a veteran replacement became a greater priority after the Colts didn’t take an offensive lineman until the seventh round of last week’s NFL draft.</p>
