Colts Place Starting Cornerback Jaylon Jones on Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts have placed cornerback Jaylon Jones on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he re-aggravated during their season-opening win against the Miami Dolphins. Jones, who missed much of training camp with the same injury, will be sidelined for at least four weeks, impacting the Colts' secondary depth amid other recent injuries. To fill roster gaps, the Colts have elevated cornerback Chris Lammons and rookie running back Ulysses Bentley IV to the active roster and signed safety Trey Washington to the practice squad while releasing safety Darrick Forrest. Jones had been a key defensive player over the past two seasons, and his absence opens a larger role for rookie Johnathan Edwards. The Colts aim to start the season 2-0 as they prepare to host the Denver Broncos, adjusting their roster to manage injuries and maintain competitiveness.
