Former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end JJ Galbreath has signed with the Indianapolis Colts after a workout with the club on Tuesday.
Galbreath, 25, was just released by the Steelers earlier this month. He was with the team in 2025 as a undrafted free agent and re-signed for 2026 on a reserve/future contract in January.

He first signed with the Steelers last April out of South Dakota. He was waived by the team in the final roster cuts last August but cleared waivers and was re-signed to the practice squad. He was not elevated for either of the first two games before he was released.
A 6-foot-3 3/8, 231-pound tight end, Galbreath showed flashes of that athleticism at the NFL level but did not turn that into production during a long preseason tryout.
Galbreath appeared in 106 offensive snaps over three preseason games for the Steelers. Despite the long look, he was targeted only five times, making three catches for 23 yards.

He put up fantastic athletic testing scores in the pre-draft process, with a 4.67-second 40-yard dash, a 4.20-second shuttle, 6.82-second three-cone, 38-inch vertical and 10-foot-3 broad jump for an 8.4 out of 10 Relative Athletic Score.
A three-year starter for the Coyotes, Galbreath recorded 1,355 yards on 93 catches and had 12 touchdowns over his four-year college career.
