The Colts waived Milligan on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan made his NFL debut with the Colts back in 2019, playing in 11 contests and notching 15 tackles (11 solo). In 2020, Milligan opted out due to concerns related to COVID-19.

Milligan has decided to opt out of the 2020 season, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to announcing his decision to opt out, Milligan looked primed to play a depth and special-teams role for Indianapolis. He'll instead rejoin the team next year.

Milligan (foot) signed a one-year contract with Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan suited up in 11 games with the Colts in 2019 before he was placed on injured reserve following Week 15 with a foot injury. The 25-year-old played a depth role last season, logging 15 tackles (11 solo) on defense and special teams. He'll likely assume that same role for the team heading into the 2020 season.

Milligan (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan was injured during Monday's loss to the Saints, and the Colts have opted to shut the safety down for the rest of the year. The 25-year-old played in 11 games for the Colts this season, registering 15 tackles while playing mostly on special teams.

Milligan (foot) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against New Orleans, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how Milligan suffered the injury, but the fact that he was immediately ruled out for the game is cause for concern. In his stead, look for Khari Willis and George Odum to receive an uptick in depth safety snaps.

Milligan (knee) isn't listed on the Wednesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan sat out the Week 5 win over Kansas City due to the knee issue but is now healthy after the bye week. The 25-year-old has primarily played special teams in his two games with the Colts.

Milligan (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan will miss his second game of the season. He mainly works on special teams, although he likely would've had a shot on defense in this outing since starting safeties Clayton Geathers (concussion) and Malik Hooker (knee) are both inactive as well. Khari Willis and George Odum are the only two healthy safeties on the Colts' roster.

Milligan landed on the Colts' injury report as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan presumably suffered the injury at practice, because he just showed up on the injury report Friday. With both starting safeties already ruled out his availability will be significant for the Colts' secondary depth.

Milligan was elevated to the Colts' 53-man roster Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The promotion of Milligan gives the Colts added depth in the defensive backfield, but he isn't worthy of IDP consideration at this stage of his career because of how little he has played since entering the league back in 2016. The 25-year-old has yet to play a snap of regular-season football in his NFL career.

Milligan was signed to the Colts' active roster Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milligan is getting a promotion from the practice squad in order to provide Indianapolis with more depth at safety in the wake of Mike Mitchell's (calf) placement on injured reserve. However, the third-year Toledo product is unlikely to see enough playing time to be worthy of IDP consideration.
