According to LockedOnColts’ (and former Stampede Blue contributor) Jake Arthur, the Indianapolis Colts worked out two wideouts ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Kansas City Chiefs: Cole Burgess and Jaylen Johnson.
The 6,0”, 200 pound Burgess was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted rookie free agent back in 2024, but has yet to appear in an NFL game and was waived as part of this year’s final 53-man roster cuts.
Here’s his NFL.com draft profile.
Meanwhile, Johnson is listed at 6’2”, 194 pounds and is formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers, where he spent the last two seasons after signing as an undrafted rookie free agent. He appeared in 1 career NFL game back in 2024 with the Bolts.
Backout wideout (special teams returnman) Anthony Gould (knee) was a full participant at this week’s practice, and no new injuries have been reported at the position.
The Colts did add Eli Pancol to their practice squad earlier this week.
This one appears as though Colts general manager Chris Ballard may just be performing his ‘due diligence’ at the wide receiver position, should injuries arise there down the road—or possibly to even uncover a potential diamond in the rough.
