The Indianapolis Colts released running back Kenyan Drake as part of 53-man roster cuts Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The veteran running back spent the 2022 season with the Baltimore Ravens. He racked up 482 yards and four touchdowns before going unsigned in the offseason. Drake was used largely as a backup when JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards were healthy.
The Colts signed Drake in the offseason amid uncertainty regarding the status of star Jonathan Taylor. Indianapolis has been exploring the possibility of trading Taylor, who has been angling for a new contract.
