RB Stevan Ridley signs one-year deal with Colts

Aug 28, 2016

Stevan Ridley can't play offensive line, but he does play another position of some concern for the Colts.

The Colts are facing the possibility of playing without starting left guard Jack Mewhort, but that didn't prevent it from signing today the veteran running back recently cut by the Detroit Lions.

Ridley participated in a workout with the Colts on Friday and had been weighing his options in the days since. There were believed to be other teams interested in his services, which is a reason no immediate decision was reached with Indianapolis. Ridley ended up agreeing to a 1-year deal for the veteran minimum salary, according to a league source.

Fantasy Impact:

Frank Gore is the undisputed starter, but the signing seems to impact rookie Josh Ferguson and veteran Jordan Todman most. If the Colts elect to keep just three backs, the likely three would be Gore, Ridley and Robert Turbin. Ferguson's issues with pass protection haven't helped him, although the Colts were very excited about adding him as an undrafted free agent, the story said.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
