According to Howard Balzer, the Indianapolis Colts brought in free agent WR DeAndre Smelter and TE Marcus Lucas for tryouts earlier this week.
Smelter, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers back in 2015. He was in the second year of his four-year, $2.28 million rookie contract when the 49ers waived him at the start of the 2016 season.
Smelter later signed on to the 49ers’ practice squad and has been on and off of the unit ever since.
In 2016, Smelter appeared in two games for the 49ers and caught one passes for 23 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
