Veteran running back Stevan Ridley has his new team.

The Colts announced today that they have signed Ridley, who was cut by the Lions last week.

Ridley once looked like a budding star in the NFL, having gained 1,263 yards for the Patriots in 2012, his second year in the league. But since then his production has significantly declined: He gained 773 yards in 2013, 340 yards in 2014 and 90 yards in 2015. He spent just a few months with the Lions before they cut him.

In Indianapolis, Ridley joins a backfield that includes starter Frank Gore and backups Robert Turbin, Jordan Todman and Josh Ferguson.
