The Indianapolis Colts sit at 4-5 on the year but still seem to be looking for ways to add to their roster.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the Colts worked out 2014 1st-round pick Sammy Watkins.
The #Colts, who were in the market for a WR before the trade deadline, worked out veteran Sammy Watkins today, source said.

The Buffalo Bills drafted Watkins with the 4th overall pick in the 1st round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He spent the first three years of his career with the Bills, where he had 153 receptions, 2,459 yards and 17 touchdowns.
During the offseason before the 2017 season, Watkins was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. He would only spend one season with the team, and since then, he has spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and Baltimore Ravens.
The Colts saw rookie Josh Downs reaggravate a knee injury that limited him in practice last week during their Week 9 win. With questions about his availability going forward, this workout is one to monitor for sure.
An interesting tidbit of info that Rapoport elected to add to this report was that the Colts were in the market for a WR at the trade deadline. I was told the same ahead of the deadline, and I even shared a report on a specific WR the Colts had their eyes on.
