Titans elevate Arlington Hambright, Thomas Odukoya for Week 15

The Tennessee Titans looked to their practice squad for some reinforcements and elevated Arlington Hambright and Thomas Odukoya for Week 15.

The Tennessee Titans are getting healthier by the day, but that didn’t stop them from dipping into the practice squad for some reinforcements for their Week 15 battle with the Cincinnati Bengals. 

The Titans used a standard elevation to make offensive lineman Arlington Hambright and tight end Thomas Odukoya available for Sunday. This is the second elevation for both Hambright and Odukoya this season. Both players were elevated for Week 14. 

Odukoya has had an interesting 2024 campaign. He opened the season on the 53-man roster, becoming the first Dutch-born NFL player in 24 years to do so. He followed that by making his NFL debut playing on special teams in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills. The Titans would eventually waive Odukoya on November 2 before signing him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers. 

Hambright was signed to the practice squad in October to add experienced interior depth to the offensive line. The former seventh-round pick of the Chicago Bears has spent time with five NFL teams during his career. 

The Titans need a win and will take on the Bengals on Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium in Week 15 action.

Titans elevate Arlington Hambright, Thomas Odukoya for Week 14

The Tennessee Titans dipped into the practice squad and activated Arlington Hambright and Thomas Odukoya for Week 14.

Earlier on Saturday, the Tennessee Titans made a flurry of roster moves to add reinforcements before their AFC South battle with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they weren’t done there. After activating Chidobe Awuzie and signing Mason Kinsey and Kendell Brooks to the 53-man roster, the team decided to dip into the practice squad for more help. 

The Titans used a standard elevation to make offensive lineman Arlington Hambright and tight end Thomas Odukoya available for Sunday. This is the first elevation for both Hambright and Odukoya this season. 

Odukoya has had an interesting 2024 campaign. He opened the season on the 53-man roster, becoming the first Dutch-born NFL player in 24 years to do so. He followed that by making his NFL debut playing on special teams in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills.

Titans release Mason Kinsey, sign former special teams ace

The Tennessee Titans started preparations for Week 9 with a flurry of roster moves.

The Tennessee Titans ended their silence on Tuesday by making some roster moves as they start preparing for their Week 9 battle with the New England Patriots. 


The Titans released fan-favorite Mason Kinsey from the 53-man roster. Kinsey was signed from the practice squad Saturday on the heels of trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kinsey will likely be re-signed to the practice squad later in the week. The move leaves the Titans roster at 52 players, so another move is likely in the works. 

The Titans also added a few players to their practice squad heading into the week. The first was adding Abdullah Anderson, a move that was mentioned on Monday when they released him from the 53-man roster. Joining Anderson will be wide receiver Justin Hardee and offensive lineman Arlington Hambright.

Hardee is an interesting addition and a former special teams ace. The veteran was a Pro Bowler in 2022 for the New York Jets and is highly regarded as one of the top coverage players in the league. The Titans special teams have been abysmal, so any reinforcements would be a welcomed sight. 

The Titans also released Cole Spencer from the practice squad.

Colts’ training camp roster preview: OL Arlington Hambright

Up next in our Colts’ training camp roster preview is OL Arlington Hambright. Here is a look back at 2023 and what’s ahead in 2024.

Veterans and rookies for the Indianapolis Colts will report for training camp on July 24th, with the first practice taking place on July 25th.

Between now and then I will be previewing the Colts’ 91-man roster with a look back at each player’s 2023 season, along with what’s ahead for 2024.

I’ll be going through the Colts’ roster alphabetically, so up next is offensive lineman Arlington Hambright. To stay up to date with our other previews, be sure to head over to Colts Wire.

2023 Season Review

Hambright was a part of the Colts’ practice squad in 2022 and spent time on the team’s active roster and practice squad in 2023. Hambright appeared in two games on offense, playing six total snaps at left tackle.

Prior to joining the Colts in 2022, Hambright spent that offseason with New England, and in 2021, he spent time on Chicago’s practice squad and active roster. Hambright was a 2020 seventh-round pick by the Bears, playing 82 snaps that season at left guard and another 44 on special teams.

2024 Season Preview

With the additions of Matt Goncalves and Tonor Bortolini in the draft, the Colts’ offensive line room just got a bit more crowded. The Colts like Bortolini’s ability to play all three interior positions, while they also believe Goncalves can play guard in addition to tackle.

This leaves one or perhaps two roster spots up for grabs, with the Colts’ starting five, Bortolini, Goncalves, and Blake Freeland accounting for eight spots onthe depth chart.

Competing with Hamright will be Wesley French, Jake Witt, Danny Pinter, and Josh Sills. As the Colts build out their 2024 offensive line room, versatility is an important factor.

“You’re dressing 48 guys, eight linemen. If you draft an offensive lineman, to just play one position, unless you’re the starter makes it very difficult,” said GM Chris Ballard about the offensive line. “You need to have a guy that can play both tackle spots, a guy that can play both guard spots and swing. And really, two more guys that can snap the football.

“I think it’s the same thing in any position – you’ve got to have some versatility to be able to play multiple spots. We kind of try to do that as much as we can every year.”

Colts sign 9 to futures contracts among several roster moves

The Colts made 14 roster moves Monday to begin the 2024 offseason.

The Indianapolis Colts officially got their offseason underway Monday by making several roster moves, including the signings of nine players to Reserve/Future contracts, the team announced.

Along with the nine futures contracts the team signed, all of which include players from the practice squad, the Colts also signed four players to one-year contract extensions while waiving another player. So in total, the Colts made 14 moves.

As is typical protocol following the end of the regular season, the Colts will be preparing to expand their roster to 90 players for the offseason. Much of that includes signing players to futures contracts.

The expansion of the roster to 90 players doesn’t go into effect until the start of the new league year, which is March 13. That’s why it’s technically a reserve contract. It is essentially stating the player will be on the 90-man roster when the time comes.

There is no limit to how many futures contracts the Colts have as long as they are within the 90-man limit when the new league year rolls around.

Here’s a look at the 14 moves the Colts made to begin the offseason:

Colts sign G Arlington Hambright to the practice squad

Arlington Hamrbight is back on the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed guard Arlington Hambright to the practice squad, the team announced Friday.

Hambright was waived Thursday when the Colts promoted wide receiver D.J. Montgomery from the practice squad to the active roster. After clearing waivers, the Colts were able to get Hambright back on the practice squad.

Hambright spent the offseason with the Colts but failed to make the active roster during cuts at the end of August. He was signed to the practice squad shortly after and was promoted to the active roster in September.

Hambeight remained on the roster for the majority of the season until he was waived Thursday.

Colts promote WR D.J. Montgomery to the active roster

D.J. Montgomery gets a promotion to the active roster.

The Indianapolis Colts signed wide receiver D.J. Montgomery from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Thursday.

Montgomery used his three standard elevations from the practice squad. If the Colts wanted him to be active on gamedays, they would need to sign him to the roster. This also gives the team a No. 5 wide receiver after Juwann Winfree was waived.

In a corresponding move, guard Arlington Hambrught was waived. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Hambright made his way back to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Colts sign RB Trey Sermon to practice squad among roster moves

The Colts added RB Trey Sermon to the practice squad and promoted G Arlington Hambright to the active roster.

The Indianapolis Colts signed guard Arlington Hambright from the practice squad to the active roster, waived offensive tackle Ryan Hayes from the active roster and signed running back Trey Sermon to the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

Despite being one of the waiver claims following roster cuts before the season, Hayes was on the active roster for just two games before being waived. He was a healthy scratch in both games.

Hambright had some flashes throughout training camp and the preseason along with some inconsistencies. He showed off some versatility working both on the interior and at left tackle.

Sermon is added to the practice squad as a depth move in the backfield. He has one season of experience with head coach Shane Steichen when he spent the 2022 campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles.

He has appeared in 11 career games since entering the league as a third-round pick with the San Francisco 49ers in the 2021 NFL draft.

Colts elevate WR Juwann Winfree, OL Arlington Hambright in Week 2

The Colts elevated a pair from the practice squad for Week 2.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated wide receiver Juwann Winfree and offensive lineman Arlington Hambright from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.

Winfree is being elevated for the second consecutive week, giving the Colts five wide receivers on game day. He is allowed to be elevated one more time during the regular season before the Colts would have to sign him to the active roster if they want him available on game days.

Hambright will provide some offensive line depth. It isn’t clear if this is a signal about Quenton Nelson’s toe injury. Nelson is questionable to play but was able to practice in a limited fashion on Friday.

It may be that the Colts simply want the depth at guard in the event Nelson re-injures the toe during the game and can’t play. Or it may be a signal that Nelson won’t be active. We don’t have enough information on the matter either way.

We will know more about Nelson’s status when inactives are released an hour and a half before kickoff.

Colts sign G Arlington Hambright to practice squad

The Colts brought Arlington Hambright back to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed guard Arlington Hambright to the practice squad and released offensive tackle Dan Skipper from the practice squad, the team announced Monday.

Hambright initially made the 53-man roster but was cut when the team made waiver claims the following day. He spent the 2022 season on the practice squad and was with the Colts for the entire 2023 offseason.

Skipper signed with the Colts during training camp and was released during roster cuts. He was then signed to the practice squad.
