Gould had four receptions for 43 yards on six targets in Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals. Gould looks set to be Indy's punt returner, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gould looks set to make the 53-man roster as the No. 6 receiver, but will have most of his value as a punt returner. He had just one reception last season and may not have much of a role on offense.

Gould had two receptions for 12 yards on four targets in Thursday's preseason loss at Baltimore. He also had a dropped kickoff and two dropped passes, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Gould has made a strong impression in training camp and had some nice plays in Thursday's game, but the mistakes probably hurt his chances to have a larger role in the offense.

Gould caught his lone target for 23 yards while adding 206 kick-return yards and 95 punt-return yards across eight regular-season games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Gould was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall. He got some reps with the first-team offense during training camp and had an impressive preseason, but he was a healthy scratch from Weeks 4-12 and mostly was used on special teams as a returner when he did play during the regular season. Gould will participate in offseason activities and look to earn a bigger role for himself on offense for the 2025 campaign.

Gould (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Gould appeared in each of the Colts' first three games, operating primarily as a return man. However, with Josh Downs back in the mix, Gould is the odd man out in the Colts' wideout corps.

Gould did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. He played just one snap on offense.

EDGE Analysis

After an impressive preseason, Gould has had a minimal role on offense with just 17 snaps played in two games and no targets. He's mostly being used as a kick returner on special teams, but the Colts did not return a kickoff against the Packers.

Gould had four receptions for 25 yards on five targets in Thursday's preseason win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but had an impressive training camp and preseason that saw him get time with the first-team offense. He may have also won the kickoff return job and could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.

Gould worked with the first-team offense as a receiver, but was not targeted with a pass in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver, the Indianapolis Star reports. He had five kickoff returns for a 27.6 yard average and one punt return for nine yards.

EDGE Analysis

The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but has been working with the first-team offense in training camp at times as a receiver. He could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.

Gould has been used with the first-team offense in the slot at times during training camp and has made a strong impression, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams, as he's also competing for the punt-return job (he was an elite punt returner at Oregon State). However, it looks like he could be in the receiver mix, which may have openings for playing time if Josh Downs misses regular-season games with a high-ankle sprain.
