Colts Claim Ambry Thomas, Eye Titans Matchup

The Indianapolis Colts have claimed cornerback Ambry Thomas off waivers following his release from the San Francisco 49ers, where he spent the majority of his time on injured reserve this season due to a broken forearm. The Colts are looking to bolster their cornerback depth, especially with key injuries affecting their secondary, as they gear up for a crucial matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Thomas, initially drafted by the 49ers in 2021, had shown promise with 79 tackles, 12 passes defended, and two interceptions during his tenure. His addition follows that of another former 49ers cornerback, Samuel Womack III, who has successfully integrated into the Colts' lineup. Thomas' versatility on special teams and defensive experience is expected to provide significant depth and stability to the Colts' roster as they push for playoff contention. This move gives Thomas a fresh start after a mixed stint with the 49ers, where he experienced both starting opportunities and challenges in securing a consistent role.
