The Indianapolis Colts released wide receiver Brian Tyms from injured reserve on Friday, having reached an injury settlement.

The 4th-year wideout was placed on the team’s injured reserve on July 30th following a rib injury suffered earlier in training camp. He was subsequently replaced on the active roster by wide receiver Andre Debose.

Tyms was originally signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2012 out of Florida A&M. Since then, he’s spent time with the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns organizations before serving as a member of the New England Patriots over the past two seasons prior to joining the Colts this offseason.

The 6’3″, 204 pound wideout has appeared in 18 career games with both the Patriots and Browns, recording 7 receptions for 94 receiving yards and a touchdown. Tyms spent the entirety of this past season on the Patriots injured reserve.

However, it looks as though he’ll look to continue his professional career elsewhere than the Colts organization at this time.
