Colts waive Artavis Scott

The Colts have deleted a player from their wide receiver group.

The team announced that they have waived Artavis Scott on Thursday. The team released fullback Roosevelt Nix earlier this week and will continue paring down their roster with an eye on Saturday’s 4 p.m ET deadline to get to 53 players.

Scott signed with the Colts in January. He spent the last three seasons with the Chargers, although he never saw the field during a regular season game. He was on injured reserve in 2018 and on the practice squad the other two seasons.

With Scott gone, T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, Marcus Johnson, Zach Pascal, sixth-round pick Dezmon Patmon and Daurice Fountain remain in the mix for spots on the Colts initial roster.

Why do these links all say 53 when I thought it was 55?

its technically 53 but its Covid 55

so what exactly does that mean? Are you allowed to protect two extra because of C-19, and only 53 available for game day? Assume then the two extra need to be waived, and brought back or claimed elsewhere. The two are also not eligible to be claimed off PS?

for this year they are allowing an additional 2 players to the active 53...
boosting practice squad from 10 to 16, think this is the permanent move...
on game day 48 active but if too many are injured then allowed to dress practice squad members (2) for game day...

If anything can be positive from the C-19 virus, this move is long overdue.
