WR Chester Rogers

Rogers was one of those guys back in the 2019 training camp that was on the cusp of being cut when the roster was trimmed down to 53 players.

His role on special teams as a punt returner helped him stay employed. He was one of the better returners in the NFL in terms of yardage. But, Rogers suffered a knee injury in Week 13 versus the Titans and was placed on injured reserve.

Then Nyheim Hines happened. Hines was drafted to be a returner and he finally got his chance once Rogers went down, and Hines took full advantage. Week 16 Hines returned two punts for touchdowns and all but sealed the punt returner job in 2020.

With Rogers having not much value on the roster now, don’t expect the Colts to re-sign him.
