Coleman Owen - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands with Indianapolis The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive), accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Placed back on practice squad Owen reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Owen was elevated ahead of Monday's Week 16 loss to San Francisco and played one offensive snap, getting one target that he didn't catch. He also played nine special-teams snaps, logging three kick returns for 89 yards. It was the second straight week Owen was elevated, which coincides with Anthony Gould missing the past two weeks due to a foot injury. It's likely that Owen's chance of being elevated again for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Jaguars hinges on whether Gould is able to return.

Joins active roster Owen was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Monday.

Impact The 24-year-old has joined the Colts' active roster for the second consecutive game. In the Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, Owen played 10 special-teams snaps and tallied 52 kick-return yards and two punt-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role Monday night, likely operating as Indianapolis' top return man.

Back to practice squad Owen reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Owen was brought up from the practice squad Saturday to provide depth at wide receiver in the absence of Anthony Gould (foot). Owen ended up playing solely on special teams and returned one punt for two yards and two kickoffs for 52 yards. The undrafted rookie is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad twice more this season.

Colts activate 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers, making him eligible to play Sunday against Seahawks

The Indianapolis Colts have promoted 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers to the active roster, making him eligible to play — and perhaps start — in Sunday’s crucial game at Seatt...

Elevated for Week 15 The Colts elevated Owen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Anthony Gould (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Owen will serve as Indy's fifth wide receiver behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell. Gould is also the primary kick returner and punt returner for the Colts, so, in his absence, Owen might see action in those roles. This marks Owen's first practice-squad elevation of the season, leaving two more opportunities for him to be elevated this year.

Stays with Indy Owen signed to the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact The wide receiver was waived Tuesday after missing out on the team's 53-man roster. Owen finished the preseason with 13 catches on 16 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown, so it's possible that the undrafted free agent could become a developmental prospect as the season goes on. Owen, an Ohio product, caught 78 passes for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns during his final collegiate season in 2024.

Cut by Indianapolis The Colts waived Owen on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.

Impact Owen signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May and entered training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver. He led all Colts receivers in catches (13) and targets (16) while finishing second in yards (124) with a touchdown across three preseason games, but it wasn't enough for the Ohio product to crack the team's 53-man roster. Still, Owen showed enough during training camp and the preseason to garner interest from teams looking to add wide receiver depth through the waiver wire. If he clears waivers, Owen would be a candidate to return to the Colts as a member of the practice squad.

Headed to Indy The Colts signed Owen as an undrafted free agent Friday.

Impact Owen will get a chance to prove himself at the pro level coming off the best season of his collegiate career in 2024 at Ohio. Over 14 games with the Bobcats, he brought in 78 receptions for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns, also adding two carries for 26 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Indianapolis has a relatively deep group of pass-catchers, so it would be surprising if Owen made much noise in his rookie season even if he did crack the final roster.
