Free agent safety Nasir Adderley came out of retirement on Tuesday to sign a contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Colts for Adderley, who announced his retirement from the NFL in March of 2023.

Adderley, 28, got the itch to return to the gridiron, however, and he made his intention known over social media in February.

He recorded 232 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles in 50 career games (44 starts) with the Los Angeles Chargers (2019-22). He was selected by the Chargers in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Delaware.

Adderley joins fellow safeties Jonathan Owens and Juanyeh Thomas as new additions for the Colts.
