Scott listed on Colts injury report; potential depth implications in the secondary and special teams.

Scott’s finish and strong special-teams play push him into the roster discussion, potentially backing up Cross at strong safety and keeping Indy’s back-end depth intact against waiver churn.

Daniel Scott battled ACL and Achilles injuries over two seasons to reach the field, then seized a breakthrough moment in the Bengals game by intercepting Ridder and returning it for a TD. His relentless rehab impressed decision-makers and underscored his roster bid, with a path opened behind Cross when Wohler went down. Scott’s special-teams contributions further bolster his case for one of the final 53 spots.

Scott stood out as a defensive standout in the final roster push, signaling potential for a role in Indy’s safety depth or sub-packages that could yield IDP value in deeper leagues if he attains consistent snaps.

Scott’s pick-six highlighted a playmaking skill that backs roster-depth claims, especially in a defense leaning on aggressive rotations. His performance signals a potential boost in practice squad consideration or special-teams leverage if the pass rush compounds.
