The Indianapolis Colts officially had three players opt out of the 2020 season as the deadline passed Thursday afternoon, meaning they had no new players added to the list.
The Colts learned this week that linebacker Skai Moore, cornerback Marvell Tell and safety Rolan Milligan would be opting out of the 2020 season due to concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They will stay the season on the reserve/Opt Out list and will not count toward the active roster.
The Colts haven’t made any moves to replace these players on their active roster and still have two players (WR Malik Henry, CB Jackson Porter) on the reserve/COVID list.
The biggest blow comes in the form of Milligan and Tell, both of which had a role as depth pieces in the secondary while also working on special teams.
It will be interesting to see how the Colts go about replacing them, but it officially stands that Indy will have three players opt out of the season.
