The Colts are in need of depth at running back behind star Jonathan Taylor and to get a tailback like Moss and a sixth-round pick was intriguing for the Colts. Moss was falling down the depth chart in Buffalo, behind Devin Singletary and James Cook.
The Colts are 3-4-1 on the season and will be on the road to face the New England Patriots on Sunday, November 6 at 11:00 a.m. MT on CBS.
