Colts Place Reuben Lowery III on Reserve/Retired List

Overview

• The Indianapolis Colts placed Reuben Lowery III on the Reserve/Retired list on June 9, 2026, indicating he has elected not to continue his playing career at this time.
• Lowery made an initial NFL impact after signing as an undrafted rookie with the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, appearing in three games with one start and recording five tackles.
• Baltimore waived Lowery in mid-October 2025 and the Colts claimed him off waivers, but he did not appear in a game for Indianapolis last season and served as depth.
• The move follows significant churn in the Colts’ safety room, which saw departures such as Nick Cross and Rodney Thomas II and additions including AJ Haulcy, Juanyeh Thomas, and Jonathan Owens that reshaped roster needs.
• Placing a player on the Reserve/Retired list removes him from the roster while the club retains his contract rights if he wants to un-retire, a status that preserves the team’s control and affects depth and special-teams planning.
