Free-agent wide receiver K.J. Hamler signed with the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Saturday. Hamler was waived by the Denver Broncos during camp with a non-football illness designation.

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (heart, pectoral) was diagnosed with pericarditis but could return in six weeks, according to head coach Sean Payton. The expectation is that Denver will cut and re-sign Hamler in a series of procedural moves. The 24-year-old could come back and compete for the No. 3 receiver role after Tim Patrick (knee) was diagnosed with a torn Achilles, ending his 2023 season.

Since the Denver Broncos took wide receiver KJ Hamler in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, the early portion of his career has been defined by injuries. Hamler played in 13 games (four starts) in his rookie season, but since then, he's played in only 10 games in the last two years.
