Recently released Indianapolis Colts cornerback Corey Ballentine has landed with his old team, signing with the Green Bay Packers.

Currently, the Colts are navigating injuries at cornerback with both Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents working through hamstring injuries. Along with signing Lammons last week, the Colts also signed Tre Herndon and Duke Shelley.

The Colts signed Ballentine to a one-year, $1.33 million deal this offseason. By releasing him, the team will take on a dead cap hit of $482,500 for the 2025 season.

Before joining the Colts, Ballentine spent the previous three seasons in Green Bay, where he played 488 defensive snaps in 2023 but was primarily a special teams contributor.
