Colts Sign Receiver with Ties to Alec Pierce, Brian Mason

Colts sign Tyler Scott and Ben Nikkel to the practice squad, while Tyler Kahmann exits. Scott brings special-teams value and speed from Chicago, with limited immediate WR upside behind a crowded room. Nikkel, Iowa State product, arrives as a core preseason special-teams piece who could spell depth on defense if ever elevated. Kahmann’s removal tightens a WR group already deep behind Pittman, Pierce, Downs, Mitchell, Dulin, and Gould, highlighting Colts’ preference for ST versatility and roster flexibility.

With Scott and Nikkel added to the fold, which Colts players are now most at risk of reduced snaps?Which Colts WRs should fantasy owners monitor most closely this preseason?What’s the most likely path for Ben Nikkel to impact the Colts in 2025?Do Kahmann’s release and these PS moves indicate a shift in Colts’ roster-building philosophy?

Former Iowa State star David Montgomery continues to lead way for Detroit Lions

Sports Illustrated

In Week 11 of the NFL, several former Iowa State players made notable contributions. Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers threw for a touchdown and rushed for another, despite a narrow loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

David Montgomery shone for the Detroit Lions, scoring two touchdowns in a dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Meanwhile, Breece Hall and Will McDonald IV had solid performances for the New York Jets, although the team fell to the Indianapolis Colts.

How do you think Brock Purdy's performance will impact his future with the 49ers?What are the implications of David Montgomery's success for the Lions' playoff chances?Can Breece Hall maintain his performance level throughout the season?What strategies might the Jets employ to improve after their recent losses?
