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.

Colts make several moves to roster, practice squad

The Colts made several more moves Thursday, including the addition of DE Jacob Martin to the active roster.

The Indianapolis Colts continued to tweak the active roster and practice squad Thursday ahead of the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After making additional moves following roster cuts Wednesday, the Colts were back at it Thursday. They added another edge rusher to the mix while parting ways with a depth offensive lineman.

They also added a cornerback and tight end to the practice squad while releasing a linebacker and cornerback to make room.

Here are the moves the Colts made Thursday:

Stock report from Colts’ preseason win over Bears

Here’s the stock report from the Colts’ preseason win over the Bears.

The Indianapolis Colts grabbed their first win of the preseason Saturday night in a 24-17 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Despite the starters getting rest after the joint training camp practices, there were still plenty of players grinding for their spots on the roster with cut-down day quickly approaching.

When taking stock of a player’s performance, it’s best to be fluid. A player’s stock will fall and rise throughout the preseason so none of this is set in stone. But it is important to take note of the narratives and storylines taking place as the regular season quickly approaches.

A player’s stock can be impacted by their performance or the type of snaps they receive during the preseason.
