The Indianapolis Colts surprised a lot of people when they signed troubled free-agent quarterback Chad Kelly earlier in May.

Indy will now be without the former Denver Broncos’ seventh-round pick to start the 2019 season after the NFL suspended him two games on Friday.

#Colts QB Chad Kelly has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2019 regular season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. This, of course, for his incident while with the #Broncos.

The suspension stems from Kelly being arrested last October in Colorado for trespassing after a team Halloween party. He was almost immediately released by the Broncos and ultimately pleaded guilty to the charges — avoiding jail time in the process.

The final pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Kelly fell that April due to numerous off-field issues while in college at Clemson and Mississippi. He’s the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly.
