The Indianapolis Colts re-signed running back Marlon Mack to a one-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.
The re-signing of Mack was reported late last week but with this announcement, the move becomes official.
Coming off of a torn Achilles during the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020, Mack got a one-year deal to get back into the game and potentially get another contract after the 2021 season.
The Achilles injury isn’t a great one, especially for running backs. It seems to be an injury that is difficult for running backs to return to the same level of explosiveness and change of direction.
With Jonathan Taylor back to lead the backfield after a strong rookie campaign and Nyheim Hines returning in a contract year to be the pass-catcher, Mack is likely to work in the rotation as a depth piece.
Mack’s contract is a simple and straightforward deal. He gets $1 million in base salary and a $1 million signing bonus, both of which are guaranteed.
