Colts Sign RB Khalil Herbert to One-Year Deal

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Khalil Herbert to a one-year deal, following his time with the Cincinnati Bengals after a trade from the Chicago Bears. Herbert, a four-year veteran, has accumulated 1,905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in his career, and he is expected to compete for the backup role behind star running back Jonathan Taylor. His addition is seen as a strategic move to enhance the Colts' backfield depth, particularly in pass-catching and blocking. The Colts are likely to continue seeking additional running back options ahead of training camp, as Herbert and Tyler Goodson are both on one-year contracts. Meanwhile, the Bengals, who acquired Herbert mid-season in hopes of bolstering their running back depth, will now look to replace him as they navigate their roster management challenges.
