Non-tendered by Cincy

The Bengald did not tender Kaaya a contract by Wednesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

Analysis: Kaaya was claimed off waivers by the team in February, but they apparently had a change of heart since acquiring him. The 24-year-old missed the 2018 season due to an undisclosed injury and is now free to latch on elsewhere.

Claimed by Cincinnati

Kaaya was claimed off waivers by the Bengals on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Kaaya was waived by the Colts on Feb. 8 after spending the 2018 season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. The 2017 sixth-round pick has yet to earn a job at the NFL level, but showed potential during his tenure at the University of Miami. He'll attempt to compete with Tom Savage for the No. 3 QB job this offseason.

Analysis: The 2017 sixth-round pick spent the 2018 season on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, while Jacoby Brissett served as the backup quarterback and Phillip Walker was on-and-off the practice squad. Kaaya had an impressive college career at the University of Miami, but he hasn't gained any traction in the NFL. He'll hope to find another opportunity to compete for a No. 3 QB job.

Waived/injured by Colts

Kaaya was waived/injured by Indianapolis on Friday with an undisclosed injury, Stephen Holder of The Athletic Indiana reports.

Analysis: Phillip Walker has cemented himself as the Colts' No. 3 option at quarterback halfway through the preseason, making Kaaya expendable. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and if the 22-year-old clears waivers he will revert to the team's injured reserve.

Gets time in fourth quarter

Kaaya was 3-of-4 passing for 24 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Thursday's preseason win over Seattle. He was the fourth quarterback to appear for the Colts in the game.

Analysis: Kaaya is battling Paul Walker for the third-string quarterback role. However, it's not clear if the Colts will keep three quarterbacks on the roster if Andrew Luck looks fully healthy. Jacoby Brissett is set as Luck's backup.
