Colts Fail Physical for Cornerback Ambry Thomas

The Indianapolis Colts claimed cornerback Ambry Thomas off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers but subsequently failed him on his physical due to concerns over the healing of a forearm injury. Thomas had been on injured reserve for the entire season after breaking his forearm during preseason, and despite the 49ers clearing him over a month ago, the Colts determined he was not fit to join their roster. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, expressed confidence that Thomas feels ready to play and will pass his next physical. With the failed physical, Thomas is now a free agent and can seek a new team. The Colts were looking to bolster their cornerback depth, which has been thin beyond their top players. This situation underscores the ongoing injury challenges faced by the 49ers, affecting players across the league.
