Henoc Muamba is back on the open market.

The Mississauga linebacker was cut by the National Football League's Indianapolis Colts on Saturday as NFL teams had to trim their rosters to 53 players before the start of the regular season.

Muamba, 26, is now a free agent and could be signed by another NFL team or could possibly come back to the Canadian Football League, where he starred for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Drafted first overall by Winnipeg in the 2011 CFL draft, Muamba went on to become a CFL East Division All-Star and won the Lew Hayman Trophy as the division's most outstanding Canadian in 2013. He finished second in the CFL with 106 tackles that season.
