Colts sign wide receiver to roster after Allen, Downs trades

After trading Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers and Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts announced an addition at the wide receiver position.

To bolster their receiver depth on the 53-man, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is being signed from the practice squad to the active roster.

Westbrook-Ikhine was signed by the Colts in free agency and was eventually released during roster cutdowns. He has spent the season up to this point on the practice squad.

Westbrook-Ikhine has appeared in three games this season as a practice squad elevation. He's played just 19 offensive snaps, with only one target coming his way. His primary role in these games has been on special teams, where he's played 45 snaps.

The Colts also announced that they signed veteran long-snapper Jake Bobenmoyer to the practice squad.

As Mike Chappell noted, Luke Rhodes may be dealing with something.
