The Colts have claimed outside linebacker Shaun Phillips off waivers from Tennessee.

Team officials say they waived linebacker Victor Butler to clear room on the 53-man active roster.

He played nine seasons with San Diego, then signed with Denver last season and joined the Titans this year. In 2009, he led the NFL with seven forced fumbles and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2010 when he finished with 11 sacks. Last year, led the Broncos with 10 sacks.

But in Tennessee, Phillips had 19 tackles and two sacks in 11 games.
