Colts’ game-day roster vs. Jaguars in Week 6

Here’s a look at the 53-man roster for the Colts in Week 6.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-2) will be on the road Sunday visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) for the second matchup between these division-mates this season.

As it pertains to the 53-man roster, there was a slight change at the game’s most important position. Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson was placed on the Reserve/Injured list after suffering a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder during the Week 5 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Richardson is heavily considering season-ending surgery, but that decision has yet to become official. Taking his spot on the 53-man roster this week was guard Ike Boettger, who was signed from the practice squad.

For the second week in a row, the Colts opted against elevating any players from the practice squad.

Here’s a look at the Colts’ game-day roster in Week 6, sorted by jersey number:

Packers elevate CB Corey Ballentine from practice squad for Week 5 vs. Raiders

The Packers elevated CB Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 5 vs. the Raiders.

The Green Bay Packers elevated cornerback Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 5. The move was announced Monday, making Ballentine available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for Monday night’s showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.

Ballentine has been elevated each of the last three weeks and is now out of elevations. He would need to be signed to the 53-man roster to play for the Packers again this season.

While Jaire Alexander is expected to return from a back injury and play against the Raiders, Ballentine provides insurance at the position, especially considering Eric Stokes (PUP) was not activated to the 53-man roster.

With Alexander out the last two weeks, Ballentine played 80 defensive snaps at cornerback vs. the Saints and Lions. He was also on the field for 36 special teams snaps, or two-thirds of the Packers’ snaps on special teams over the last two weeks. Unless Alexander suffers a setback, Ballentine will be mostly a special teamer on Monday night.

Last week, the Packers used Ballentine more against the run-heavy Lions. Rookie Carrington Valentine, who was a full participant at practice all week, is another backup option at cornerback. It’s unclear if the Packers favor Valentine or Ballentine as the No. 4 cornerback this week, but Ballentine’s elevation suggests it could be him.

The Packers also signed running back Patrick Taylor (who was out of elevations) from the practice squad and released outside linebacker Justin Hollins on Monday.

All teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from the practice squad each week. An individual player can only be elevated from the practice squad three times per season, so Ballentine is now out of elevations. On Tuesday, Ballentine will revert back to the practice squad.

Elevations by week

Week 1: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 2: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 3: RB Patrick Taylor, CB Corey Ballentine
Week 4: CB Corey Ballentine, CB Kiondre Thomas
Week 5: CB Corey Ballentine

Colts’ game-day roster vs. Titans in Week 5

Here is the game-day roster for the Colts in Week 5.

The Indianapolis Colts (2-2) and Tennessee Titans (2-2) are set for a divisional matchup in Week 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Entering this game, the Colts made some changes to the roster. Cornerback Dallis Flowers (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list, and wide receiver Amari Rodgers was signed to the active roster from the practice squad.

Also, the Colts officially activated running back Jonathan Taylor from the Reserve/PUP list and waived running back Jake Funk. They elected not to elevate any players from the practice squad.

Jets gameday roster for Week 4 vs. Chiefs

Jets gameday roster for Week 4 vs. Chiefs

The Jets are set to play in the national spotlight yet again, this time against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. They will get a boost of energy with Aaron Rodgers back with the team for the first time since tearing his Achilles in Week 1.

With the inactives announced, we know who the Jets are dressing as they look for the big upset in Week 4. Here’s your gameday roster.

 

Colts’ game-day roster vs. Rams in Week 4

Here’s a look at the Colts’ gameday roster for the Week 4 matchup against the Rams.

The Indianapolis Colts (2-1) and Los Angeles Rams (1-2) will face off for a Week 4 matchup on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Here’s what the 53-man roster looks like for the Colts on game day, sorted by jersey number:

Packers elevate CBs Corey Ballentine and Kiondre Thomas from practice squad for Week 4 vs. Lions

The Packers elevated CBs Corey Ballentine and Kiondre Thomas from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 4 vs. the Lions.

The Green Bay Packers elevated cornerbacks Corey Ballentine and Kiondre Thomas from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 4. The move was announced Thursday, making Ballentine and Thomas available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for Thursday night’s showdown with the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.

The elevation is the second for Ballentine and first for Thomas. Ballentine was elevated for Week 3 against the Saints.

The elevations reflect the team’s injury situation at cornerback, where Jaire Alexander is nursing a back injury and likely won’t play against the Lions and rookie Carrington Valentine has a biceps injury and is questionable to play.

Last week, Ballentine was on the field for 18 special teams snaps across five phases (he played over 100 special teams snaps for the Packers last season) and 30 snaps on defense. He was forced onto the field for Joe Barry’s defense after Valentine hurt his biceps in the first half. Ballentine gave up four catches but also had a key pass breakup on third down in the second half vs. the Saints.

Thomas could make his Packers regular season debut. He played in four games for the Chargers in 2021 but has not been on the field for the Packers in a regular season game despite spending most of the last two seasons on the team’s practice squad.

No roster move was made for running back Patrick Taylor, who was elevated each of the first three weeks. He’s out of elevations and would need to be signed to the 53-man roster to play for the Packers again this season.

All teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from the practice squad each week. An individual player can only be elevated from the practice squad three times per season, so Ballentine has only one more elevation available this season. Thomas has two. On Friday, both will revert back to the practice squad.

Elevations by week

Week 1: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 2: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 3: RB Patrick Taylor, CB Corey Ballentine
Week 4: CB Corey Ballentine, CB Kiondre Thomas

Colts’ game-day roster vs. Ravens in Week 3

Here’s a look at the Colts’ gameday roster for Week 3, sorted by jersey number.

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) and Baltimore Ravens (2-0) will face off for a Sunday matchup at M&T Bank Stadium in Week3:

Here’s what the 53-man roster looks like for the Colts on game day, sorted by jersey number:

Packers elevate RB Patrick Taylor, CB Corey Ballentine from practice squad for Week 3 vs. Saints

The Packers elevated RB Patrick Taylor and CB Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 3 vs. the Saints.

The Green Bay Packers elevated running back Patrick Taylor and cornerback Corey Ballentine from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 3. The move was announced Saturday, making Taylor and Ballentine available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for Sunday’s showdown with the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field.

The elevation is the third for Taylor and the first for Ballentine. Taylor was brought up for both Week 1 vs. the Bears and Week 2 vs. the Falcons.

Taylor has rushed six times for 23 yards while playing 20 snaps on special teams. As was the case last week, Aaron Jones is questionable to play because of a hamstring injury.

Ballentine appears to have taken the elevation of Innis Gaines, who is dealing with a new injury. Gaines was elevated from the practice squad in both Week 1 and Week 2 and played a crucial role on special teams, including as a gunner. That role may now go to Ballentine, who was a core member of the special teams in Green Bay to end last season.

All teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from the practice squad each week. An individual player can only be elevated from the practice squad three times per season, so Ballentine has two more elevations available this season. Taylor is out of elevations and would need to be signed to the 53-man roster to contribute next week. On Monday, both will revert back to the practice squad.

Elevations by week

Week 1: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 2: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 3: RB Patrick Taylor, CB Corey Ballentine

Colts’ game-day roster vs. Texans in Week 2

Here’s a look at the Colts’ game-day roster in Week 2.

The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) and Houston Texans (0-1) will face off for the first time this season with a Week 2 matchup at NRG Stadium on Sunday:

Here’s what the 53-man roster looks like for the Colts on game day, sorted by jersey number:

Packers elevate RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines from practice squad for Week 2 vs. Falcons

The Packers elevated RB Patrick Taylor and DB Innis Gaines from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 2 vs. the Falcons.

The Green Bay Packers elevated running back Patrick Taylor and defensive back Innis Gaines from the practice squad to the gameday roster for Week 2. The move was announced Saturday, making Taylor and Gaines available for Matt LaFleur and the Packers for Sunday’s showdown with the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes Benz Stadium.

The elevation is the second of up to three for both players. Taylor and Gaines were both brought up from the practice squad for the season opener against the Bears.

Taylor played seven snaps on offense, rushing five times for 22 yards (also played nine snaps on special teams), while Gaines was on the field for 19 special teams snaps, tied for the third-most on the Packers roster in Week 1.

The Packers may need Taylor to play more snaps at running back if Aaron Jones, who is questionable, can’t go. He and Emanuel Wilson would be the backups behind A.J. Dillon. Gaines appears to be a core special teamer for Rich Bisaccia; the versatile defensive back played snaps on kickoff return, kickoff coverage, punt return and punt coverage. Gaines had one tackle but committed a penalty and missed a tackle against the Bears.

As was the case last week, the Packers did not elevate a wide receiver from the practice squad despite Christian Watson’s uncertain playing status.

All teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from the practice squad each week. An individual player can only be elevated from the practice squad three times per season, so Taylor and Gaines now have only one more elevation available this season. On Monday, both will revert back to the practice squad.

Elevations by week

Week 1: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
Week 2: RB Patrick Taylor, DB Innis Gaines
