Colts waive 3 players

Colts made minor roster moves.

The Indianapolis Colts waived punter Austin Rehkow and offensive tackles Elijah Nkansah and Casey Tucker, the team announced Wednesday.

All three players signed reserve/futures contracts in January and were expected to be camp bodies throughout the offseason and preseason.

The Colts have a need at left tackle even with the free-agency signings of Julién Davenport and Sam Tevi this offseason. The consensus remains that the Colts will use an early pick on a left tackle in the draft while Davenport and Tevi battle it out for depth.

Indy is set to be on the clock for the No. 21 in the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night.

Colts sign P Austin Rehkow, TE Andrew Vollert to the practice squad

Colts make some practice squad moves.

The Indianapolis Colts signed punter Austin Rehkow and tight end Andrew Vollert to the practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.

Despite releasing veteran punter Ryan Allen from the practice squad this week, the Colts still added another punter to the roster. The return of Rigoberto Sanchez from a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor gave them their starting punter back but it seems the team still wants a bit of insurance.

Rehkow entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2017 with the Buffalo Bills. He also spent some time with the New York Giants (2018) before joining the AAF in 2019. There he spent time with the Salt Lake City Stallions before joining the XFL and the Houston Roughnecks in 2020.

Vollert has had a stint with the Colts before during the offseason and in training camp. He initially signed with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2018.
