Colts sign Toriano Clinton rb

[Patrick Miller]

He was invited to minicamps. Maybe he made an impression https://athletics.uindy.edu/news/2023/5/2/football-uindys-toriano-clinton-headed-to-colts-rookie-camp.aspx

Moss has a broken arm and is out several weeks.

From what I read, he’s not very fast.  Which is unexpected from a smaller guy.

RBs are more likely to hit than CBs, but this is still an lol with all the available options at rb still. I don't mind trying him out, but if Taylor is truly holding out, then it seems like a waste of time bringing Toriano in rather than signing Elliott, Cook, Hunt, or Fournette to a one-year deal.

 

Hopefully this means Taylor is going to play and we just need more camp bodies right now.

Hes from U of indy, this is just giving a local guy a chance a chance to be a training camp rb and make some nfl money.  He is going to be a long shot to make the roster

He put up big yards in college but has to be because he's a shifty runner.

 

His 40 time is 4.65 which is a little slow.

And he’s not big.  We have a DT who’s a lot faster, lol!

 

But as @BlackTiger said, it’s nice to give the kid a chance to play with the best.  Good luck to him.

Steichen said he was fast in his latest press conference.

maybe football speed?

Might also be a humbling move for Taylor.   Bringing in an UDFA to carry the rock.

[HOZER]

Welp, that was a short stay.

He was waived today - when they signed TWO NEW TE'S????

 

The TE room was already crowded and they've brought in THREE this week - what's up with that???

“Second-year tight end Jelani Woods, who is expected to play a key role for Indianapolis this season, suffered a hamstring injury this week, and the Colts also released veteran tight end Kaden Smith, leaving the tight end position a little thin this early in training camp.”

Thanks for the update - I had missed that information somehow.

 

Thoughts & prayers going up for Jelani Woods - who I plan to draft in my fantasy league!!
