The Colts waived Bean on Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the team's official site reports.
Bean entered training camp as the underdog against Riley Leonard for the QB3 job behind Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. Bean didn't do much to close the gap, completing 14 of 24 passes for 144 yards, one touchdown and one interception across two games while rushing for 28 yards on six carries. Assuming he clears waivers, Bean could remain in Indianapolis as a member of the Colts' practice squad.

Colts' Jason Bean: Stays with Colts via futures deal
Rotowire
Indianapolis signed Bean to a reserve/futures contract Monday.
Bean didn't suit up for any regular-season action as an undrafted rookie with the Colts in 2024, but he'll get a chance to continue his development with the team. Joe Flacco operated as the top backup to Anthony Richardson (back) in 2024 but is slated to become a free agent this offseason, as is No. 3 quarterback Sam Ehlinger.

Jason Bean: Waived by Indy
Rotowire
The Colts waived Bean on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Bean signed with the Colts in May as an undrafted free agent. The Kansas product competed against Sam Ehlinger in training camp for the No. 3 quarterback job behind Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco. Across three preseason games, Bean completed 15 of 19 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 53 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. He injured his shoulder on his one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday. If he clears waivers, Bean could be invited back by Indianapolis to be on the practice squad, or he could look to take his talents elsewhere.
