Colts Re-Sign D.J. Montgomery, Waive Rookie Liam Clifford

The veteran receiver returns to provide short-term depth after several Colts wideouts missed practice, signaling a camp-driven roster adjustment.

Overview

  • The Indianapolis Colts added veteran wide receiver D.J. Montgomery to the roster and released undrafted rookie Liam Clifford as part of standard training-camp churn.
  • Montgomery is returning for another Colts stint after missing the 2025 season on injured reserve and has six career receptions for 92 yards and one touchdown.
  • Liam Clifford signed with Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent after a four-year career at Penn State and now returns to free-agent status following his brief stay.
  • The move followed multiple receiver absences in practice for Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Laquon Treadwell, which shifted reps to backup and fringe players.
  • Montgomery will get chances in upcoming joint practices and preseason games to compete for a role, giving the Colts short-term insurance while the team evaluates health and depth.
