Westbrook-Ikhine was released by the Colts on Sunday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official website reports.
Westbrook-Ikhine signed with the Colts in March, and he was reportedly in contention to earn the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf) in 2026. Westbrook-Ikhine caught two of three targets for 36 yards over the team's three preseason contests, but he didn't show enough for Indianapolis to want to keep him as a member of its initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old caught 11 of 20 targets for 89 yards over 15 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025, and he'll likely find another opportunity in the near future.
Westbrook-Ikhine was signed to the Colts' practice squad Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Westbrook-Ikhine was let go by the team Sunday, but he'll remain in Indianapolis ahead of the regular season. With Alec Pierce (ankle) still uncertain for Week 1, it's possible that Westbrook-Ikhine will be elevated to the active roster for the team's matchup with the Ravens on Sept. 13.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
