The Indianapolis Colts announced on Monday that the team has waived fullback Roosevelt Nix and also activated rookie safety Julian Blackmon from the active/non-football injury list.
The latter move was relatively expected, as after suffering an ACL tear late last season, Blackmon had been progressing in his recovery and was said to be close to returning.
This year’s 3rd round pick of the Colts has been lauded for his versatility—having played both cornerback and safety at a high level at Utah, as well as for his ball skills and tackling.
