Colts sign CB Tremon Smith, waive DE Kendall Coleman

Colts add more to the secondary.

The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerback Tremon Smith and waived defensive end Kendall Coleman, the team announced Sunday.

Smith, 24, was a part of the six players who visited the Colts on a tryout basis earlier this week. He was a sixth-round pick with the Chiefs in 2018 where he worked on special teams as a return man and in a limited fashion as a cornerback. Smith has also held stints with the Packers and Eagles.

Smith will be joining a cornerback room currently comprised of Rock Ya-Sin, Kenny Moore, Xavier Rhodes, T.J. Carrie and Isaiah Rodgers.

Coleman was an undrafted free agent who signed with the team following the 2020 NFL Draft out of Syracuse. He was a long shot to make the roster as a depth piece in the defensive end room.

Though Coleman was waived, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Colts bring him in to the practice squad when they are allowed to do so.
