Simpson was signed to the Indianapolis practice squad, the Indianapolis Star reports. Indy's 2024 fifth-round draft pick may get time on the practice squad to develop as a cornerback from safety in college. Given Indy's lack of new talent in the secondary, he could get a chance at some point.
Simpson was waived by the Colts. It's a bit surprising that the Colts would give up so quickly on a 2024 fifth-round draft pick, but the team was confident in the returning secondary with JuJu Brents and Dallis Flowers both healthy. He's a candidate to sign with the practice squad.
