Coleman Owen: Reaches injury settlement with Indianapolis
Rotowire
The Colts waived Owen (concussion) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Owen was slated to miss the entire 2026 season after being placed on injured reserve in late August. The injury settlement allows the 25-year-old wide receiver to sign and play with a team once he passes concussion protocol. Owen logged four catches (on 10 targets) for 68 yards across three preseason games for the Colts.

Owen (concussion) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Sunday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official website reports.
Owen suffered a concussion during the opening drive of the team's preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday. The wide receiver caught four of 10 targets for 68 yards while also returning four kickoffs for 106 yards and five punts for 68 yards during the preseason. Owen will now be forced to miss the entire season while on IR, unless he is able to reach an injury settlement with Indianapolis.

Rotowire
The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday.
The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive) and accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.

Coleman Owen: Placed back on practice squad
Rotowire
Owen reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Owen was elevated ahead of Monday's Week 16 loss to San Francisco and played one offensive snap, getting one target that he didn't catch. He also played nine special-teams snaps, logging three kick returns for 89 yards. It was the second straight week Owen was elevated, which coincides with Anthony Gould missing the past two weeks due to a foot injury. It's likely that Owen's chance of being elevated again for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Jaguars hinges on whether Gould is able to return.

Colts' Coleman Owen: Joins active roster
Rotowire
Owen was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Monday.
The 24-year-old has joined the Colts' active roster for the second consecutive game. In the Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, Owen played 10 special-teams snaps while tallying 52 kickoff-return yards and two punt-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role Monday night, likely operating as Indianapolis' top return man.

Colts' Coleman Owen: Elevated for Week 15
Rotowire
The Colts elevated Owen from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Anthony Gould (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest, so Owen will serve as Indy's fifth wide receiver behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell. Gould is also the primary kick returner and punt returner for the Colts, so, in his absence, Owen might see action in those roles. This marks Owen's first practice-squad elevation of the season, leaving two more opportunities for him to be elevated this year.

Coleman Owen: Cut by Indianapolis
Rotowire
The Colts waived Owen on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Owen signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May and entered training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver. He led all Colts receivers in catches (13) and targets (16) while finishing second in yards (124) with a touchdown across three preseason games, but it wasn't enough for the Ohio product to crack the team's 53-man roster. Still, Owen showed enough during training camp and the preseason to garner interest from teams looking to add wide receiver depth through the waiver wire. If he clears waivers, Owen would be a candidate to return to the Colts as a member of the practice squad.
