Colts Strengthen Secondary, Add Former Vikings WR Treadwell to Practice Squad

The Indianapolis Colts have been active in bolstering their roster and practice squad for the 2025 NFL season, focusing notably on their secondary and wide receiver depth. They signed cornerback Charvarius Ward, a former All-Pro and Pro Bowler from the San Francisco 49ers, to a three-year deal, expecting him to rebound after a difficult 2024 season marked by personal tragedy. Alongside Ward, the Colts acquired safety Camryn Bynum and drafted cornerback Justin Walley, although Walley is sidelined for the season due to an ACL tear. On the wide receiver front, the Colts have repeatedly brought back Laquon Treadwell, a 2016 first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, who now occupies a spot on their practice squad after an impressive preseason performance. Additionally, the Colts added receiver Tyler Scott and safety Ben Nikkel to the practice squad, aiming to enhance their special teams and depth roles. These moves reflect Indianapolis's strategic effort to reinforce both their secondary and offensive support units as they prepare for the season.
