The 2024 Colts starting Corner was placed on IR Saturday, declaring him OUT for the next 4 games minimum. The Colts activated Chris Lammons from the Practice Squad to fill his space on the 53 Man Roster in the interim.
Jones was the Colts Cornerback 4 on the the depth chart to start the season after Charvarius Ward and Xavien Howard signings. He was the top backup outside CB on the depth chart, and would have been next man up with Ward also dealing
with an injury (a Concussion that was reported on Monday).
The Colts Cornerback depth chart for Week 2 vs the Broncos is now:
- Xavien Howard
- Kenny Moore II
- Mekhi Blackmon
- Jonathan Edwards
- Chris Lammons
Blackmon took a good amount of snaps in Week 1, but has predominantly been a slot corner in his pro career. He could play outside, as could Kenny Moore II on non-nickel personnel, but it is unclear if Colts Defensive Coordinator Lou Anarumo will use either or one of Edwards or Lammons at the other outside Corner spot opposite of Howard. Whoever gets the nod will potentially draw Cortland Sutton as the matchup. Depending on the severity of Ward’s concussion, this group could be the unit the Colts use beyond Week 2 for other early season games.
Additionally Ulysses Bentley IV returns back to the active roster with Tyler Goodson still questionable to make his 2025 debut for the Colts with his elbow injury. The Colts also swapped Darrick Forrest for Trey Washington on their practice squad at Safety, a reversal of a previous practice squad roster decision leading up to Week 1 of the season.
