The Indianapolis Colts introduced on Thursday that the workforce has signed former Butler College wideout Tyler Adams and positioned huge receiver Ashton Dulin on injured reserve with a torn ACL in a corresponding roster transfer:

Concerning Dulin, the 26 12 months previous huge receiver has been a flexible participant for the Colts roster in latest seasons, serving as each positional depth and a core particular teamer.

Taking part in in 12 video games (2 begins) this previous season, he recorded 15 receptions for 207 receiving yards (13.8 ypr. avg.) and a landing reception. He performed in 58% of the Colts’ whole particular groups snaps final 12 months. He missed a while throughout 2022 with a severe toe damage.

As a large receiver, Dulin’s a serviceable deep menace depth piece, whereas on particular groups, he’s an affect gunner. His roster worth will assuredly be missed with what’s presumably a season-ending damage earlier than the 2023 marketing campaign even began.

In the meantime, Adams is a former standout for Butler College and had been beforehand signed by the Colts after collaborating of their native professional day and rookie minicamp. He was waived when the Colts signed veteran wideout Breshad Perriman in early June.

Whereas Adams doubtless faces an uphill battle to make the Colts last roster this late in coaching camp and preseason, he’ll have a chance to showcase what he can do—significantly on particular groups, the place Dulin’s year-long absence will doubtless be felt probably the most.
