The Colts did not tender Montgomery (undisclosed) on Wednesday, per the NFL transaction report. As such, Montgomery will now be an unrestricted free agent. The Austin Peay product missed the entire 2025 season while on injured reserve due to an undisclosed issue. Montgomery last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Colts, when he appeared in seven games and finished with three catches (on eight targets) for 56 yards and one touchdown.

D.J. Montgomery: Breaking News
The Colts placed Montgomery (undisclosed) on the injured reserve list Wednesday. By being placed on injured reserve, Montgomery will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached. He spent the entire 2024 season on the Colts' practice squad but hasn't seen regular-season action since 2023 with Indianapolis, when he caught three passes (on eight targets) for 56 yards and a touchdown across seven games.
Montgomery missed Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. Montgomery was not targeted and did not have a carry in Thursday's preseason loss at Baltimore. He was seen being assisted to the medical tent. He's likely dealing with some kind of injury as a result.
