The Indianapolis Colts are evaluating Ulysses Bentley as part of their 90-man roster ahead of training camp. Bentley, a 25-year-old running back, joined the Colts as an undrafted rookie after the 2025 NFL draft. He spent the previous season on the practice squad after being waived during roster cutdowns. Competing for backup positions behind Jonathan Taylor are DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan, who may have the edge due to their draft status. Bentley's chances may depend on his special teams contributions and familiarity with the offensive scheme under coach Shane Steichen.
- •Bentley participated in only two offensive snaps in Week 1 against Miami in 2025.
- •He faces competition from Giddens and McGowan for the backup role.
- •Colts added UDFAs Lincoln Pare and Anderson Castle, increasing roster competition.
- •Bentley has experience in Shane Steichen's offense, which could aid his case.
