Cut from practice squad
The Colts cut Fernea from the practice squad Tuesday.
Fernea hasn't yet suited up for a game this season, but he logged four regular-season appearances with Indianapolis between 2022-23. The depth wide receiver could be a candidate to reunite with the team later in the 2024 campaign.

Returns to Colts
Fernea was signed to the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.
Fernea will return to practice unit with Indianapolis after the team let him go Saturday. The wide receiver will provide the team with an extra depth option heading into Week 8.
Let go by Colts
The Colts cut Fernea from the practice squad Saturday.
Fernea signed with the Colts' practice squad Thursday, but he will be let go to make room for linebacker Austin Ajiake. Fernea could opt to return to Indianapolis down the road or explore his options and try to catch on with a team in need of wideout depth.
Joins Colts' practice squad
Indianapolis signed Fernea (undisclosed) to the practice squad Thursday.
Fernea was waived by the Colts with an injury settlement back in August, but now healthy, he gets a chance to reunite with the team and continue his development. He appeared in three games with the team in 2023.
Reaches injury settlement
Indianapolis waived Fernea (undisclosed) from its injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Fernea appeared in the Colts' preseason opener against the Broncos, catching his lone target for 18 yards while playing 19 snaps (16 on offense, three on special teams). He was waived by Indianapolis on Wednesday and reverted to the Colts' IR after going unclaimed off waivers. Fernea was set to miss the entire 2024 season, but with the injury settlement, he will be able to sign with another team once he's fully healthy.
Reverts to IR
Fernea (undisclosed) went unclaimed Thursday after getting waived/injured by the Colts on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The wide receiver now has to reach an injury settlement with the Colts to have a chance to play in 2024. Fernea appeared in three games and on two offensive snaps for Indianapolis in 2023 but did not catch a pass.
Gets let go
Fernea (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation Wednesday.
Fernea appeared in three regular-season games for the Colts last season, but the unknown injury could leave him sidelined for the 2024 campaign. Assuming he clears waivers, the UCLA product will revert to IR, which would force him to miss the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
Staying in Indianapolis
Fernea signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on Monday.
Fernea joined the Colts' practice squad in early December, failing to record any stats while appearing in three games with the team down the final stretch of the year. The wide receiver will now have a chance to compete for a spot on the team's 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.
Reverts to practice squad
The Colts reverted Fernea to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Fernea has been elevated from the practice squad each of the past three weeks, but he's logged only two offensive snaps over that span while working mostly on special teams. If the Colts want him to suit up again Saturday versus Houston, they'd need to sign him to the active roster.
