UDFAs and other signings

Out of the 10 rookies currently on the Indianapolis Colts active roster, four were either signed off waivers or as undrafted free agents. While they all haven’t contributed heavily five games into the season they still were able to carve out a roster spot and some are making an impact on special teams.

Tackle Luke Tenuta was signed to the team after being selected 209th overall in the sixth round by the Bills. They waived him after the preseason before the regular season started. He has been inactive for every game of the season thus far. Joining him on the inactive list has been center, Wesley French.

He has been out for four of the five games, getting to suit up for the team’s Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs because Bernard Raimann was inactive. He was an undrafted free agent that made the cut but hasn’t been on the field yet during the Colts’ five regular season games.

After being inactive for the first four games of the season, cornerback Dallis Flowers got the chance to play Thursday night against the Denver Broncos. He played 13 snaps on special teams during that game, registering one solo tackle and one forced fumble.

Jojo Domann impressed in training camp and during the preseason earning a spot on the 53-man roster to begin the season. He has been active for all five games thus far playing on special teams. He has been on the field for 84 snaps the fourth most on special teams. This number accounts for 65% of the Colts’ total special teams snaps. He has registered one solo tackle on the season.
