While working through injuries at cornerback, the Colts sign a familiar face to boost their depth.
In need of cornerback depth, the Indianapolis Colts announced that they are signing a familiar face, bringing back Chris Lammons, who was in for a workout on Thursday.
The Colts also announced that they released cornerback Corey Ballentine, who was signed in free agency this offseason.
Currently, the Colts are without Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents, both of whom are working through hamstring injuries. The team also placed David Long Jr. on injured reserve with a groin injury, which effectively ends his 2025 season with the team.
“I think Jaylon’s is a little more severe than JuJu’s, but I don’t have a timetable on their return,” Steichen said via the Indy Star.
Lammons has spent the last two seasons with the Colts. In 2024, he appeared in five games defensively, where he lined up in the nickel. According to PFF, Lammons allowed 10 receptions on 11 targets at 13.0 yards per catch.
Most of Lammons’ playing time while with Indianapolis has come on special teams. This includes playing 190 snaps across five of the six different phases last season.
Along with signing Lammons, the Colts also added cornerbacks Tre Herndon and Duke Shelley to the roster recently as well.
