Verdell signed with the Colts in May as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon, where he rushed for nine touchdowns over his final two campaigns. However, the 5-foot-8 running back played a marginal role during Indianapolis' first two preseason games and will now be in search of a new NFL opportunity.

Colts' CJ Verdell: Signs with Colts
Rotowire
Verdell signed as an undrafted free agent with Indianapolis on Friday, JJ Stankevitz of NFL.com reports.
Verdell was one of 22 undrafted free-agent signings for the Colts this offseason, including two additional running backs. The Oregon product registered just 143 carries over his final two collegiate seasons but converted these limited attempts into nine rushing touchdowns over 10 games. Verdell likely will compete against Deon Jackson and fellow UDFAs D'Vonte Price and Max Borghi for the Colts' third running back spot heading into the 2022 regular season.
