Colts waived T Elijah Nkansah, T Casey Tucker, and P Austin Rehkow.
None of the players saw playing time for the Colts in 2020. Nkansah, who played some regular season snaps for Seattle in 2018, spent last season on the Houston practice squad and signed a reserve/future deal with the Colts in January. Rehkow, a veteran of the XFL and AAF, was on Indy's practice squad in 2020. Tucker spent time with the Lions and Eagles before the Colts inked him to their practice squad last year.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Lions tried to trade up to the fourth pick in the NFL Draft in pursuit of LSU's Ja'Marr Chase.
The Falcons' asking price for the fourth pick was too high, according to Fowler. This would confirm that the Bengals -- picking fifth -- will likely select Chase in Thursday's first round. Lions general manager Brad Holmes could still draft a high-end wide receiver prospect with the seventh pick -- perhaps Jaylen Waddle or DeVonta Smith. Any first round wideout who lands in Detroit would instantly become the team's No. 1 receiver and could fall into massive target volume with little competition for looks.
Nkansah was promoted to the Texans' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Nkansah suited up for a pair of games with the Seahawks to end the 2018 regular season, but he's spent this campaign on Houston's practice squad. With Laremy Tunsil (ankle) deemed questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Titans, Nkansah will add depth to the team's offensive front.
