Colts sign RB Chris Rainey

The Indianapolis Colts are giving running back Chris Rainey a second chance at being an NFL player.

The Colts have signed the 5-9, 180-pound speedster, according to the team's official website.

Rainey was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2012 draft, but released after he was arrested and charged with battery after an altercation with his girlfriend early this year. Rainey had a previous stalking charge involving a girlfriend and was considered a significant character risk entering the draft.
