The Indianapolis Colts announced that they placed quarterback Jason Bean on the practice squad injured list on Tuesday.
Bean was seen by media members during last Friday’s practice with a boot on his “left foot/ankle,” as The Athetlic’s James Boyd put it.
The Colts signed Bean following April’s draft as an undrafted rookie who finished his college career at Kansas. During his final collegiate season, Bean threw 18 touchdowns, completed 62 percent of his passes, and averaged an impressive 10.7 yards per pass.
Known for his playmaking potential, that ability was on display throughout the preseason. As a passer, Bean was efficient over his three preseason appearances, completing 15-of-19 passes at a whopping 10.4 yards per attempt with a touchdown and an interception.
That 10.4 yards per pass attempt figure was the highest out of 61 eligible preseason quarterbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.
Bean would also rush for 54 yards at 4.9 yards per attempt with two scores and one fumble.
On the Colts’ official roster, Bean is listed as a quarterback/wide receiver. During the pre-draft process, Bean ran a 4.55-second 40 and also spent some time in college lined up at running back and receiver.
As of now, it is unknown what Bean’s specific injury is or how long he will be sidelined.
In addition to his move, the Colts also signed two defensive linemen to the practice squad.
