Colts sign WR Artavis Scott to futures contract

Colts add another futures contract.

The Indianapolis Colts signed wide receiver Artavis Scott to a reserve/futures contract, the team announced Friday.

Per the release from the team:

Scott, 5-11, 195 pounds, spent the last three seasons (2017-19) with the Los Angeles Chargers. In 2019, he spent time on the team’s practice squad. Scott spent the 2018 season on the Chargers’ Injured Reserve list. As a rookie in 2017, he spent the entire season on Los Angeles’ practice squad.

Collegiately, Scott played in 43 games (36 starts) at Clemson from 2014-16 and compiled a school-record 245 receptions (fifth in Atlantic Coast Conference history) for 2,458 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Scott is the 16th player to sign a futures contract with the Colts. Their roster isn’t near the 90-man limit yet so they still have some room to work with if they feel the need to add more.
