Colts sign QB Hundley after Wentz gets injured

-

The Indianapol­is Colts signed veteran quarterbac­k Brett Hundley on Saturday, one day after the team said projected starter Carson Wentz would be out indefinite­ly with an injured foot.

Hundley was drafted by Green Bay in the fifth round in 2015. The 6foot-3 UCLA product has played for the Packers, Arizona and Seattle.

He has played 18 games and started nine in his six-year career, completing 199-of-337 passes for 1,902 yards with nine touchdowns and 13 intercepti­ons. He’s also run 46 times for 309 yards and one score.

The Colts opened camp with four quarterbac­ks but only one, Wentz, who had thrown an NFL pass.

Offensive coordinato­r Marcus Brady said Wentz was injured late in practice Thursday. He sat out Friday when Jacob Eason took most of the snaps with the starting lineup. The Colts drafted Eason out of Washington in the fourth round in 2020.

Indy also signed 6-3, 295-pound defensive tackle Joey Ivie. Dallas drafted Ivie in the seventh round and he’s made eight appearance­s in a career that has taken him to Tennessee, Kansas

City, Seattle and Atlanta in addition to the Cowboys.
