INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- So long Philly – hello Indy!

Just two days after getting his walking papers from the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, Kendra Wilkinson’s husband, Hank Baskett, appears to have found himself a new home with the Indianapolis Colts.

Baskett, a wide receiver, is expected to sign a new contract with the Colts on Thursday, according to numerous reports.

He will likely join Peyton Manning and the rest of his new teammates for practice today.

And while Kendra may be a California girl, the mom-to-be said she couldn’t be happier about the move to Indianapolis.

“This is a great opportunity for Hank to be playing for the Colts. Peyton Manning is one of the best — if not the best — quarterbacks in the league, and I’m excited to see my baby kick some a**!” Kendra told E! Online. “So proud of Hank for staying strong and positive.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the Eagles had cut the 27-year-old Baskett in favor of embattled quarterback Michael Vick.

Kendra and Baskett are expecting their first child together around Christmas time.
