The Indianapolis Colts continued their recent trend of adding CB depth due to injuries piling up at the position.
This time, the move involved the team bringing back a familiar face and electing to move on from a player they signed just a few months ago during free agency.
The Colts bring CB Chris Lammons back and release Corey Ballentine
The Colts announced that they are bringing back veteran CB Chris Lammons after a recent tryout with the team. Lammons spent the last two years with the Colts, appearing in 18 games and starting two. As a member of the team, he recorded one pass deflection, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and a sack. His primary role with the Colts came on special teams, logging 246 snaps over the past two years, compared to 155 on defense. He also adds experience of playing in the slot, which will help him compete with a few other CBs the Colts recently signed.
To make room for Lammons’ return to the Colts, the team is releasing CB Corey Ballentine. The team signed Ballentine this offseason, following a six-year NFL career during which he bounced around the league. His most recent stop was with the Green Bay Packers, where he spent the last three years and appeared in 37 games. In two of his three years with the Packers, he failed to appear in 10% of the defensive snaps. The one outlier was in 2023, when he saw his usage on defense increase dramatically by appearing in 55% of the team’s defensive snaps with 488. His special teams experience led many to believe he had a decent shot at earning a roster spot. Instead, the 2019 sixth-round pick wasn’t able to impress the Colts coaching staff, and his time with the team ended not even two full weeks into training camp.
