\"Cornerback<\/p>\n

GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 Cornerback Corey Ballentine has returned to the Green Bay Packers three days after the Indianapolis Colts released him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Colts signed Ballentine in March but released him Friday when they signed cornerback Chris Lammons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

\n

He also has played for the New York Giants (2019-20), New York Jets (2020) and Detroit Lions (2021).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Junior, 26, played with the Jacksonville Jaguars for one game in 2022 and nine in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
