Ballentine signed with the Packers on Monday

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine was released by Indianapolis on Friday after signing a one-year contract with them in March and now returns to a familiar place. The 29-year-old has played in Green Bay the last three seasons, appearing in 37 games and recording seven pass deflections. With the Packers looking for cornerback depth, Ballentine has a chance to once again play an important role.

Ballentine signed a one-year contract with the Colts on Friday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine played in Green Bay the last three years, and in 2024 he finished the regular season with six solo tackles and one forced fumble across 15 games while adding 21 kick return yards. He'll likely reprise his special teams role in Indianapolis, but Ballentine also adds veteran depth to the Colts' secondary.

Ballentine (knee) is active for Sunday night's game versus Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine was inactive last week against Detroit, but he's healthy and should fill his normal role on special teams and as a reserve in the Packers' secondary.

Ballentine (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The sixth-year pro from Washburn was estimated as a non-participant throughout the Packers' week of practice after sustaining a knee injury in a Thanksgiving Day win over the Dolphins, so his absence Thursday night comes as no surprise. Expect Robert Rochell and Eric Stokes to serve as the Packers' top backup corners with Ballentine sidelined in Week 14.

Ballentine's next chance to play will come against the Lions on Thursday, Dec. 5, though a more precise timeline for his recovery could be revealed once Ballentine undergoes further tests.

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine was a DNP for all three practices this week due to an ankle injury, and he will miss his first game of the regular season. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 3. Eric Stokes will be the Packers' top corner reserve Sunday behind starters Keisean Nixon and Jaire Alexander.

Ballentine (ankle) did not practice Friday and has been listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine has been unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury, and it's unlikely that he'll play Sunday. If he's indeed inactive, Eric Stokes would operate as the Packers' top backup corner behind starters Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon.

EDGE Analysis

Ballentine opened training camp on the active/non-football injury list due to an undisclosed issue, but he appears to be back to full health. The veteran cornerback is expected to have a rotational role in Green Bay's secondary during the coming campaign while also logging time on special teams.
