INDIANAPOLIS – It’s a group of players the Colts have relied on quite a bit in recent years.
With the expansion of practice squads, the Colts have been active in using some of these guys over the course of a 17-game regular season.
Let’s meet the Colts 2025 practice squad:
1. RB-Ulysses Bentley IV

RB-Ulysses Bentley IV: I thought this undrafted free agent had a chance to be on the initial 53-man roster. But the Colts opted for 3 running backs, with Tyler Goodson (elbow) being healthy enough to have a spot.
2. RB-Khalil Herbert

RB-Khalil Herbert: A hamstring injury sidelined the veteran Herbert for much of training camp. Keeping 3 running backs is a fine number, as long as you have some practice squad insurance and the Colts have that with multiple bodies.
3. WR-Tyler Kahmann

WR-Tyler Kahmann: For now, the second wideout on the practice squad for position coach Reggie Wayne isn’t Laquon Treadwell, it’s another undrafted free agent in Tyler Kahmann, who spent the entire offseason with the Colts.
4. OL-Josh Sills

OL-Josh Sills: At times, I thought Sills could challenge for a 53-man roster spot. But Dalton Tucker earned that reserve interior role. Sills played 17 games for the Colts in 2023.
5. OL-Mose Vavao

OL-Mose Vavao: The Colts have 3 offensive linemen on their practice squad. With Vavao, he joined the team back in the spring as a 54-game starter out of Fresno State.
6. DE-Durell Nchami

DE-Durell Nchami: During camp, Nchami did flash a bit. He’s bounced around practice squads for the last 3 years and the Colts will have him as their lone defensive end on the PS.
7. DT-Josh Tupou

DT-Josh Tupou: The big man stay with the Colts after joining the team in training camp. Tupou, 31, has ample history with Lou Anarumo. Could his 340-pound frame be used against run-heavy teams?
8. LB-Austin Ajiake

LB-Austin Ajiake: If the Colts kept a 5th linebacker, it’s quite possible Ajikae would have been that guy. He got some occasional first-team looks during camp.
9. CB-Chris Lammons

CB-Chris Lammons: For a while, I thought Lammons had earned a 53-man roster spot with the Colts after re-joining the team during camp. But more cornerback movement sent him to the open market, and he is now on the practice squad as some slot cornerback insurance.
10. S-Trey Washington

S-Trey Washington: An undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss, Washington was one of the lone safeties remaining as the injuries started to hit that group.
