Cornerback Corey Ballentine returns to Packers after getting released by  Colts - Yahoo Sports

GREEN BAY, Wis. β€” Cornerback Corey Ballentine has returned to the Green Bay Packers three days after the Indianapolis Colts released him.

The Packers announced Monday they had signed Ballentine, who had played for them from 2022-24. They made room for him by releasing cornerback Gregory Junior.

Ballentine played 37 regular-season games and three playoff games for the Packers over the past three seasons. He made seven starts during that stretch.

The Colts signed Ballentine in March but released him Friday when they signed cornerback Chris Lammons.

Ballentine, 29, played 15 games last season while contributing primarily on special teams. He started six games in 2023 and had 43 tackles and seven passes defensed, both career highs.

He also has played for the New York Giants (2019-20), New York Jets (2020) and Detroit Lions (2021).

Junior, 26, played with the Jacksonville Jaguars for one game in 2022 and nine in 2023.
