Colts Sign Former Chiefs Super Bowl Champion WR After Firing GM Chris Ballard
The Colts added veteran help after a 2-4 start, bringing in a three-time Super Bowl champion and a 17-year punter to bolster depth.
- On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and punter Thomas Morstead to their practice squad, releasing rookie Eli Pancol to accommodate the roster additions.
- Hardman, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, brings 178 career catches for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns across 82 regular-season games to Indianapolis.
- Hardman famously caught the game-winning touchdown in a Super Bowl, while Morstead joins after punting 44 times for a 43.6-yard average in 17 games with the San Francisco 49ers last season.
- With Alec Pierce on injured reserve, the Colts hosted former Eagles wideout Ainias Smith earlier this week but chose Hardman after a failed Darius Slayton experiment.
- Following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, the 2-4 Colts face an undefeated Minnesota Vikings squad this Sunday in a critical stretch of their season.
