The Indianapolis Colts waived wide receiver Artavis Scott, the team announced Thursday.
Scott was working at training camp for depth purposes but with several players ahead of him on the depth chart, it wasn’t likely that he would have made the 53-man roster, which becomes official Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Scott, 25, went undrafted in 2017 and signed with the Chargers out of Clemson. He signed a futures contract with the Colts in January.
There is a chance Scott is brought back to the practice squad, especially given the fact that they have been expanded to 16 players amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The waiving of Scott is just the start as the Colts begin to trim down the roster from 80 to 53 players by Saturday.
