Ehlinger is now the Colts' No. 2 quarterback after Brett Hundley was released Monday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Ehlinger was activated off injured reserve Oct. 19 after missing the first six weeks of the season with a knee injury, and he's now the primary backup to starter Carson Wentz with Hundley and Jacob Eason cut by the Colts. The coaching staff apparently has liked what they've seen from Ehlinger so far, but the rookie sixth rounder is still unlikely to see any worthwhile playing time if Wentz remains healthy.
