Reports: Free agent QB Osweiler visits Colts


Free agent quarterback Brock Osweiler has visited the Indianapolis Colts, according to multiple reports.

The Colts are looking for a veteran backup to Jacoby Brissett, who was elevated to the starting job following Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement Saturday.

Brissett is the only quarterback on the current roster who has started an NFL game. Behind him on the depth chart are rookie Phillip Walker and second-year player Chad Kelly, who appeared in one game last season with the Denver Broncos.

Osweiler, 28, was a second-round pick by the Broncos in 2012 and has played in 49 games (30 starts) with Denver, the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins.

Osweiler has a 15-15 record, passing for 7,418 yards with 37 touchdowns and 31 interceptions.

Brissett is 5-12 as a starter, including 4-11 with the Colts in 2017 when Luck was out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Indianapolis opens the season on the road on Sept. 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
