If the Colts thought enough to keep him around on the practice squad until now, that meant there was some interest. I doubt he plays much WR, but you never know. As a friend pointed out today, the way bodies keep dropping, he might just end up being a regular. The Colts will undoubtedly start Blair White in the slot against the Bengals with Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon out wide. If any of those guys gets dinged, James gets a chance to show something.
And while the Colts won’t confirm using him as a kickoff returner, I expect he will get that job. Maybe White sticks on punt returns, because he’s handled it well with a 13.3-yard average, but then again maybe not because White is now in the three-WR set.
