Colts' Tyler Varga: Cleared to play

Varga (concussion) has been cleared for football activities and intends to play in 2016, the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis:

It has been roughly nine months since Varga suffered the concussion, but the running back will indeed make a second attempt to crack the Colts' 53-man roster. "It comes down to this: I'm back here because I want to compete again," Varga declared. Unfortunately for Varga, though, he won't be competing against an injured Dan Herron and Vick Ballard this time around. Instead, he'll be squaring off with Robert Turbin, Jordan Todman, Trey Williams and rookie Josh Ferguson for a role behind the incumbent starter, Frank Gore.
