The Colts signed Owen to a reserve/future contract Monday. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio spent a majority of the season on Indianapolis' practice squad, appearing in two games with 20 total snaps (19 on special teams and one offensive), accounting for 143 total return yards. Owen will have the opportunity to participate in the Colts' offseason activities and attempt to earn a spot on their active roster next season.
Owen reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Owen was elevated ahead of Monday's Week 16 loss to San Francisco and played one offensive snap, getting one target that he didn't catch. He also played nine special-teams snaps, logging three kick returns for 89 yards. It was the second straight week Owen was elevated, which coincides with Anthony Gould missing the past two weeks due to a foot injury. It's likely that Owen's chance of being elevated again for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Jaguars hinges on whether Gould is able to return.
Owen was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Monday. The 24-year-old has joined the Colts' active roster for the second consecutive game. In the Week 15 loss to the Seahawks, Owen played 10 special-teams snaps and tallied 52 kick-return yards and two punt-return yards. He's expected to play a similar role Monday night, likely operating as Indianapolis' top return man.
