Colts release WR James Washington

The Indianapolis Colts released wide receiver James Washington on Monday ahead of the roster cut deadline, first reported by Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.

Washington joined the Colts extremely late in the process, being signed the day before the second preseason game. Even so, he flashed some talent by recording a 42-yard reception in that second preseason game but failed to make much of an impact in the finale.

Washington would be intriguing as a fifth or sixth wide receiver during the regular season so we shouldn’t shut the door on a return just yet. We’ll see how the roster looks once everything gets sorted out following Tuesday’s deadline.

The Colts have until Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET to finalize their initial 53-man roster. You can stay up to date with the latest moves via our tracker.
