Matt Hazel is back in the NFL.
The Indianapolis Colts signed the Coastal Carolina alumnus Sunday. Hazel will provide receiver depth for the Colts, who lost rookie Deon Cain to a torn ACL following their preseason opener.
Hazel and Indianapolis are plenty familiar, as the former Chanticleer spent much of last season either on the Colts’ active roster or their practice squad. He was cut by the Cleveland Browns on April 30.
Hazel, a 26-year-old from North Augusta who is CCU’s all-time leader in career receptions with 183, recorded his lone career reception for 1 yard while with the Colts last season.
