Colts Sign Nate Noel After Salvon Ahmed Season-Ending Injury

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Nate Noel to replace Salvon Ahmed, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury during training camp. Ahmed's injury, caused by a hip-drop tackle, will likely keep him out for the entire 2025 season, although he is expected to recover by 2026. Noel, an undrafted free agent out of Missouri, previously spent time with the Miami Dolphins before being waived during training camp. He has a five-year college career split between Appalachian State and Missouri, where he demonstrated strong rushing ability. The Colts' roster moves also included signing other free agents and placing injured players on Injured Reserve. These changes aim to bolster the team's depth following key injuries ahead of the regular season.
