A recently released Colts’ running back reportedly signs with a new team.
A recently released Indianapolis Colts running back has landed with a new team.
According to the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Khalil Herbert is planning to sign with the Seattle Seahawks‘ practice squad.
Following the Colts‘ Week 1 win over Miami, Indianapolis released Herbert from their practice squad after adding running back Ameer Abdullah.
The Colts signed Herbert early on in the free agency process this past spring. He was supposed to compete for the backup running back role.
However, in the draft, the Colts added DJ Giddens. An injury in training camp then limited Herbert’s opportunities over the summer. Tyler Goodson also capitalized on the opportunities that came his way.
Herbert appeared in just one preseason game with the Colts, their opener against Baltimore, and carried the ball seven times for 29 yards with a touchdown, according to PFF.
Herbert was released during roster cutdowns before briefly spending some time on the Colts’ practice squad.
