Professional career

Indianapolis Colts

Tipton was signed by the Indianapolis Colts after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft.[1] Tipton performed well in the preseason and made the Colts initial 53 man roster,[2] but was waived on September 9, 2014, and re-signed to the practice squad shortly afterward. On November 22, Tipton was promoted to the active roster when Griff Whalen was waived.[3]

After seeing some limited action on special teams, Tipton played running back against the Dallas Cowboys and scored his first NFL touchdown on a 1-yard pass from Matt Hasselbeck.

Tipton saw the first significant game action of his pro football career in the Colts' first game of the 2014 playoffs, supplanting the role of former third-overall Cleveland Browns draft pick Trent Richardson as the second running back behind Dan Herron. He carried the ball 11 times for a total of 40 yards, and also recorded a single reception for six yards. The Colts defeated the visiting Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 26–10 in the game.[4] In the AFC Championship, Tipton scored his first NFL rushing touchdown.

On September 5, 2015, Tipton was waived by the Colts, but re-signed to the practice squad on September 17, 2015.[5] He was called up shortly after to the active roster.

On November 26, 2015, Tipton was waived.[6] He was re-signed by the Colts on November 30.[7] and waived again on December 21.[8]
