The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerback Nick Nelson and tight end Jordan Thomas to reserve/futures contracts, the team announced Tuesday.
As the offseason begins for most teams, the rosters will expand to 90 players on Feb. 8, the day after the Super Bowl. This means teams can begin filling out their futures contracts for their 90-man roster and they won’t count toward the active roster until then.
Nelson worked out for the Colts last week. He’s a Wisconsin product who was initially selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft. He’s appeared in 12 games and has one pass defended.
Thomas was a sixth-round pick with the Houston Texans in the 2018 NFL draft. He has appeared in 27 games recording 22 receptions for 226 yards and five touchdowns.
