Colts' Rolan Milligan: Done for night
Milligan (foot) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against New Orleans, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
It's unclear how Milligan suffered the injury, but the fact that he was immediately ruled out for the game is cause for concern. In his stead, look for Khari Willis and George Odum to receive an uptick in depth safety snaps.

Colts' Rolan Milligan: Can't shake injury
Milligan (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.
Milligan will miss his second game of the season. He mainly works on special teams, although he likely would've had a shot on defense in this outing since starting safeties Clayton Geathers (concussion) and Malik Hooker (knee) are both inactive as well. Khari Willis and George Odum are the only two healthy safeties on the Colts' roster.

Colts' Rolan Milligan: Listed as questionable
Milligan landed on the Colts' injury report as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury.
Milligan presumably suffered the injury at practice, because he just showed up on the injury report Friday. With both starting safeties already ruled out his availability will be significant for the Colts' secondary depth.

Colts' Rolan Milligan: Receives promotion
Milligan was elevated to the Colts' 53-man roster Wednesday.
The promotion of Milligan gives the Colts added depth in the defensive backfield, but he isn't worthy of IDP consideration at this stage of his career because of how little he has played since entering the league back in 2016. The 25-year-old has yet to play a snap of regular-season football in his NFL career.

Colts' Rolan Milligan: Receives promotion
Milligan was signed to the Colts' active roster Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.
Milligan is getting a promotion from the practice squad in order to provide Indianapolis with more depth at safety in the wake of Mike Mitchell's (calf) placement on injured reserve. However, the third-year Toledo product is unlikely to see enough playing time to be worthy of IDP consideration.

Milligan was added to the 53-man roster after fellow safety Tavon Wilson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve.

Lions' Rolan Milligan: Activated from PUP list
Mulligan (undisclosed) was activated from the Lions' Physically Unable to Perform list Monday.
Milligan landed on the PUP list to begin training camp after sitting out the entire 2016 season with a serious injury. It appears the safety is back to full strength, but he'll still need to prove healthy and effective in training camp in order to earn a spot on the Lions' final roster.

After sitting out the entire 2016 season with a serious injury, Milligan will be entering training camp without any NFL snaps.

Lions' Rolan Milligan: Signs contract with Lions
Milligan signed a contract with the Lions on Thursday, Kyle Meinke of MLive Media Group reports.
Milligan was an undrafted free agent at the start of least season and after latching on with the Cowboys, ended up suffering a severe injury that cost him the rest of the 2016 campaign. He was waived with an injury settlement and after taking the long road to recovery, he's finally healthy enough to sign with a new team. He'll join the Lions for the offseason, but there's no guarantee he makes the final roster.
