Colts' Aaron Shampklin: Staying with Colts
The Colts signed Shampklin to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Shampklin originally signed with the Cowboys back in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent, but after he sustained an unspecified injury during one of Dallas' preseason games, he was let go by the organization with an injury settlement prior to Week 1. The rookie running back eventually joined Indianapolis' practice squad in December, but he ultimately failed to make any game-day appearances this past season. He's now in a position to compete for a roster spot throughout the summer and into training camp.

Aaron Shampklin: Signs practice-squad deal
The Colts signed Shampklin to their practice squad Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Shampklin was waived from injured reserve by the Cowboys at the beginning of September, but the undrafted running back out of Harvard appears to have moved past his ankle injury and will look to make the most of his opportunity with the Colts. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is on IR for the remainder of the campaign, so Shampklin could be elevated to the active roster at some point, but for now, Zack Moss and Deon Jackson are in line to handle most of the backfield opportunities.
