Colts place draft pick Jake Witt on season-ending IR

Jake Witt has been placed on the season-ending injured reserve list.

Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Jake Witt was placed on the injured reserve list, among other roster moves, the team announced Saturday.

Witt, a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, has been dealing with a hip injury. Because he was placed on the injured reserve list before the 53-man roster was finalized, he is forced to miss the entire season.

Before his injury during the first week of training camp, Witt was working as the left tackle on the second-team offense. Witt is the second Colts draft pick to suffer a season-ending injury after safety Daniel Scott tore his ACL during OTAs.

Among the other moves the Colts made Saturday included signing tight ends Nick Eubanks and Michael Jacobson and waiving running back Toriano Clinton.

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent running back Toriano Clinton and waived defensive tackle Jamal Woods, the team announced Tuesday.

Adding to the running back room was a necessity following the news Monday that Zack Moss suffered a broken arm. He is expected to miss roughly six weeks.

Clinton, an undrafted free-agent rookie out of Indianapolis, appeared in 43 games across five seasons (2018-22). He recorded 593 carries for 4,538 yards and 48 touchdowns. He also added 39 receptions for 322 yards and four touchdowns.

In 2022, Clinton appeared in eight games. He recorded 147 carries for 1,001 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 14 receptions for 166 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Woods joined the Colts this offseason as an undrafted free-agent rookie out of Illinois.
