A seventh-round selection by the Denver Broncos
in the 2017 NFL Draft, Kelly has appeared in just one NFL game.
The nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, the
26-year-old was better known for his off-field transgressions,
which included an arrest on criminal trespassing charges and
subsequent two-game suspension for violating the league's
personal conduct policy.
The Colts signed veteran Philip Rivers in the offseason, and
Jacoby Brissett is his backup. The Colts also used a
fourth-round draft pick this spring on Jacob Eason.
The Colts replaced Kelly on the practice squad with wide
receiver Krishawn Hogan.
Hogan, 25, has played in 10 games with the Colts (2017) and New
Orleans Saints (2019), catching one pass for four yards.
