It's telling that the Colts, with five wide receivers either on injured reserve or ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, still opted to cut the 2018 sixth-round pick, instead promoting practice-squad wideout Marcus Johnson to the active roster. There were rumblings the Colts were unhappy with the development of Cain, particularly following a healthy scratch toward the end of October, but it's still surprising to see the team essentially give up on the second-year receiver, subjecting him to the waiver wire, which could ultimately see another team scoop up the 23-year-old.
