George Odum: Everything you need to know

The Colts signed Odum off the practice squad Tuesday. Odum inked a deal with the Colts' practice squad last week but now lands a spot on the 53-man roster after the team placed Ashton Dulin (hamstring) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Odum has been a star special-teams player throughout his career and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2020 with the Colts.

The Steelers hosted Odum (elbow) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The veteran safety underwent elbow surgery in June before being released by the 49ers in July with a non-football injury designation. Odum appears to have recovered from the procedure and is looking to join a team in need of help on special teams and at safety. The Steelers are one of those teams, as Miles Killebrew is expected to be sidelined indefinitely due to a non-contact knee injury that he suffered during Pittsburgh's 23-9 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Odum suffered an offseason elbow injury that he underwent surgery for in June, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Odum ended the 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to a knee issue, but it was an offseason elbow injury that needed surgery and led the 49ers to place him on the active/NFI list Friday. San Francisco then released the veteran safety/special-teamer Saturday. Rapoport suggests that Odum will need 6-to-8 more weeks to recover from the surgery and isn't likely to sign with a team until after the start of the new season.
