More than likely, he is cheap. He’s smart, he hustles, and he is easier to fit under the cap. They already have two expensive Qbs, having a third doesnt make sense. And the kid gave his best when the team imploded last year. He didnt quit. The third string Qb does a lot of dirty jobs, like running the scout team.

Ballard likes him, he trusts him. It could be that simple.

My point being nobody was going to claim him with so many better options out there.

If O'Donnell goes unclaimed via waivers, he might be added back to the practice squad as well.


I read some comments out of Philly that Sills was not a lock to make their practice squad although I think he probably would have. Obviously, Steichen is very familiar with him.

Be interesting to see which of these 3 players the Colts will try to keep on the active roster and which ones they run through waivers in the next few days / weeks. Sometimes a waiver claim is made just to grab another guy to stash on the practice squad. So the claiming team will turn around and run the guy through waivers again.

Didn't see Skipper was on the PS. Also, I would think we'd add O'Donnell to the PS if he clears waivers since he made the initial roster.

Agree. Will be interesting to see what other roster churn happens in the next week or so.

The Canadian is headed to the desert.

Arizona / Jonathan Gannon snagged him off waivers.

We have been awarded our waiver claim on OL Carter O’Donnell from the Indianapolis Colts.

In addition, we have placed OL Dennis Daley and LB Myjai Sanders on injured reserve.

You dont know that. If they dont want him they would have cut him. Either wat, someone was going to get released to get him back on the roster.

Bummer. Thought O'Donnell looked decent in the final preseason game. Hopefully Sills and Hayes are upgrades.

A common strategy with rookie QBs. They’re big targets, their routes are usually in the middle of the field, QB friendly position.
