The Indianapolis Colts have released cornerback Kenny Moore and safety Nasir Adderley, who was signed just weeks ago after unretiring from the NFL. Adderley, a former second-round pick, had not played for three seasons before his brief return.
The Indianapolis Colts announced that they released veteran cornerback Kenny Moore. However, the team also made two other roster moves, one of which includes releasing a recently signed free agent.
Along with releasing Moore, safety Nasir Adderley was let go as well.
The Colts signed Adderley not long ago, back on Apr. 14. After not playing for three NFL seasons, Adderley made the decision to unretire.
Adderley was a second-round pick out of Delaware by the LA Chargers in the 2019 NFL draft. In Years 2 through 4, Adderley appeared in 46 games, making 44 starts.
For his career, he allowed a completion rate of 69% when targeted, surrendering 11.7 yards per catch with three interceptions and nine pass breakups, according to PFF. He made 226 of his 265 tackle attempts.
The Colts likely ran into a numbers crunch at the safety position. GM Chris Ballard has added heavily to this unit during the offseason, also signing Jonathan Owens and Juanyeh Thomas in free agency. He then used a third-round pick on AJ Haulcy.
The Colts released Nasir Adderley shortly after signing him, likely due to performance evaluations and roster decisions.
Before joining the Colts, Nasir Adderley was a second-round pick by the LA Chargers in 2019 and played 46 games with 44 starts over three seasons.
In addition to releasing Kenny Moore and Nasir Adderley, the Colts also waived linebacker John Bullock.

That trio will join Hunter Wohler in competing for the starting role next to Cam Bynum.
Realistically, there wasn't going to be room on the roster for Adderley, especially after being away from the game for multiple seasons.
One other roster note, the Colts released linebacker John Bullock as well. Bullock was claimed off waivers in early January after being released by Tampa Bay.
Ballard reshaped the linebacker room in the draft, selecting CJ Allen and Bryce Boettcher.
