The Indianapolis Colts signed tight end Dominique Dafney and waived running back Bruce Anderson, the team announced Wednesday.
With some injuries and thin depth at the tight end position, the Colts have been forced to add to the position for training camp. They also signed another tight end this week in Andrew Vollert.
Per the release from the team:
Dafney, 6-3, 235 pounds, played collegiately at Indiana State (2019), Iowa (2017-18) and Iowa Western Community College (2016). In 2019, he was a Second Team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference choice at fullback and garnered MVFC All-Newcomer recognition after registering 635 all-purpose yards (439 rushing, 196 receiving) and a team-high seven total touchdowns for the Sycamores. In two seasons with the Hawkeyes, Dafney appeared in 23 games and compiled one reception for 19 yards, one punt return for 26 yards, eight tackles (four solo) and one blocked kick. Prior to Iowa, he spent time at Iowa Western Community College.
Dafney is most likely a camp body filling a role until Jack Doyle (neck) returns from his current injury. The Colts have just over a week until roster must be cut down to 53 players.
