The Indianapolis Colts have released seventh-round rookie cornerback and kick returner Ray Fisher, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
Fisher averaged 33.3 yards per kickoff return on four returns, including a long return of 58 yards. Playing cornerback and safety, Fisher recorded 10 tackles this preseason and forced one fumble.
Earlier this summer, the Colts agreed to terms on a four-year, $1.83 million deal with Fisher.
The former Indiana University standout is a converted wide receiver who ran the 40-yard dash unofficially in the low 4.3 range at his Pro Day workout.
The honorable-mention All-Big Ten conference selection also registered a 38-inch vertical leap and a 10-2 broad jump.
The 5-foot-8, 171-pounder played three seasons at wide receiver before making the transition to cornerback as a senior.
In 19 starts at wide receiver, the Cleveland native caught 118 passes for 1,070 yards and nine touchdowns.
He returned 18 kickoffs for 650 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 36.1 yards per return and 9.7 yards on 17 punt returns.
His kick return average led the nation and set a Big Ten single-season record.
In six starts on defense, Fisher registered 49 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
