Evan Hull: Lands on practice squad
The Colts signed Hull to the practice squad Wednesday.
Hull, a 2023 fifth-round pick, was unable to make the Colts' 53-man roster Tuesday, but he'll end up stick around with the Indianapolis organization after clearing waivers. As a rookie, Hull suited up for just one game before going down with a knee injury, but he's familiar with the Colts' offensive scheme and will likely be on the short list for a promotion to the active roster should the team suffer any backfield attrition. At least to open the regular season, however, Trey Sermon (hamstring) and Tyler Goodson will work as the top backups to Jonathan Taylor.

Evan Hull: Jettisoned by Indianapolis
The Colts waived Hull on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hull spent the preseason competing for a reserve role behind starter Jonathan Taylor, but it appears that Indianapolis is more comfortable with both Trey Sermon (hamstring) and Tyler Goodson as depth options. As a rookie last season Hull was only able to play one game with the Colts before going down with a knee injury. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the team may opt to bring Hull back via the practice squad.

Colts' Evan Hull: Another solid preseason game
Hull had nine carries for 30 yards but lost three yards on one reception in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.
Hull was the third running back to enter the game after Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Goodson, but also got time with the first-string offense. Goodson rushed 13 times for 57 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards, so the two backs competing for the No. 3 running back job had another similar preseason outing. Trey Sermon hurt his hamstring in the preseason opener, and if he still isn't ready to play by the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Texans, Goodson and Hull would likely split change-of-pace duties behind Taylor.

Colts' Evan Hull: Gains 31 yards on five touches
Hull had four carries for 26 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona.
Hull was the second player to receive a carry for Indianapolis behind Tyler Goodson (6-35-1) despite taking reps ahead of his backfield mate during practice this week. Projected No. 2 back Trey Sermon remains sidelined with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Colts' preseason opener, upgrading the battle for third on the depth chart to a competition to be Jonathan Taylor's primary backup. Hull, Goodson and possibly Zavier Scott (11-55-1) will continue to compete for potentially more than one spot on the roster (pending the team's update on Sermon's health) as we head into the final week of the exhibition schedule.

Colts' Evan Hull: Working as No. 2 running back
Hull took the majority of No. 2 running back snaps during Wednesday's practice with Trey Sermon (hamstring) sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Hull has a chance to build some momentum at training camp after an impressive showing in Indianapolis' preseason opener, the same game in which Sermon departed early due to a hamstring injury. Thus far Sermon had worked as the clear No. 2 man behind Jonathan Taylor, but Wednesday's practice seems like an indication that Hull, one of the better pass-catchers in the Colts' backfield, could be favored for the No. 3 gig over Tyler Goodson.

Colts' Evan Hull: Scores TD in preseason opener
Hull had eight carries for 16 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, and one reception for 15 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.
Hull missed all but one game last season due to a knee injury, but he's fully healthy and competing for the third running back role. He was the fourth running back to enter the game as he may be slightly behind Tyler Goodson. Either Hull or Goodson could win a meaningful role as the third-down or receiving option due to their pass-catching ability. It's also possible that only one makes the roster as the Colts may just keep three running backs.

Colts' Evan Hull: Knee injury included torn MCL
Hull recently revealed his offseason knee surgery was more extensive than first thought, as he suffered a torn left MCL, also described as a "root tear" of his meniscus, The Athletic reports. He was cleared to return to full football activities a few weeks before OTAs and has participated fully in spring practices.
Moss missed all but one game last season due to a knee injury, but the details of his surgery were not fully known. There's a wide-open competition for the backup role to Jonathan Taylor due to Zack Moss departing in free agency. Trey Sermon is likely the leading candidate, but Hull and Tyler Goodson are in the mix. Either Hull or Goodson could get more work as the third-down or receiving option due to pass-catching ability, but the situation remains fluid, and it's possible the Colts bring another veteran into the mix during training camp.

Colts' Evan Hull: Healthy and vying for backup role
Hull (knee) appears set to compete with Trey Sermon for the backup role behind starter Jonathan Taylor this offseason, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Hull is back to full health after a knee injury limited him to just one appearance as a rookie in 2023, per Paul Bretl of USA Today. After Zack Moss was able to thrive as the backup to Taylor in 2023, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on which of Hull and Sermon managers to show out better in training camp and preseason action. Sermon could have a leg up to begin the competition, but as Boyd notes, he's totaled just 78 carries in his career and isn't significantly more established than Hull.

Colts' Evan Hull: Won't return this season
Hull (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the season, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 ESPN The Fan Indianapolis reports.
The rookie fifth-round pick suffered a knee injury in his first NFL game Week 1 versus Jacksonville and went on injured reserve. While the team previously noted that Hull was making progress in his recovery, Bowen's report suggests that the Northwestern product may have suffered a setback that will prevent him from playing again in 2023. The Colts' need for Hull has been lessened after Zack Moss returned from a broken forearm Week 2 and after Jonathan Taylor returned from ankle surgery Week 5.
