Overview
- The Indianapolis Colts promoted wide receiver and return specialist Anthony Gould from the practice squad to the active game-day roster and announced the transaction through a team release and its official Twitter account.
- Ashton Dulin was ruled out of the Week 2 game with an ankle injury, prompting the Colts to add depth specifically for punt and kickoff returns.
- Gould was a fifth-round pick out of Oregon State in the 2024 NFL Draft and has been used mainly as a returner rather than a regular offensive target.
- The elevation is a standard practice-squad promotion that uses one of Gould's three available temporary elevations after he was waived at roster cutdowns and re-signed to the practice squad.
- The change is aimed at stabilizing Indianapolis' special teams on game day, though Gould is expected to have a limited offensive role and his impact will be measured primarily on punt and kickoff returns.
