The Indianapolis Colts hosted DE Derek Rivers, LB Durrell Nchami and DE Chris Smith, according to Aaron Wilson.
Rivers, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Patriots back in 2017. New England wound up cutting him loose and he was quickly claimed by the Rams.
He finished his four-year, $3.3 million contract in 2020 and signed on with the Texans as an unrestricted free agent in 2021. He was among Houston’s final roster cuts and signed on with their practice squad, but was later promoted back to the active roster.
Rivers returned on another deal in 2022 but tore his biceps during camp and missed the season. He returned on a contract in 2023 and Houston recently re-signed him to the practice squad, but was released once again early this month.
In 2021, Rivers appeared in five games for the Texans and recorded nine total tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack.
