Cowboys Add Ex-Packers CB Corey Ballentine to Practice Squad Before Week 4 vs. Green Bay

The move bolsters Dallas' injury-thinned secondary before Sunday night.

Corey Ballentine #35, formerly of the Green Bay Packers, intercepts a pass against the Minnesota Vikings during the first quarter of a game at U.S. Bank Stadium on December 31, 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Overview

  • Dallas announced the practice-squad signing on Thursday, roughly 72 hours before hosting the Packers on Sunday Night Football.
  • Ballentine spent 2022–24 with Green Bay, a connection that has fueled outside speculation about inside knowledge that the team has not confirmed.
  • After his August release by the Packers, he joined the Patriots’ practice squad and appeared in one game before being cut this week.
  • Starting corner Trevon Diggs missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee issue and DaRon Bland was limited as he works back from a foot injury.
  • Dallas could elevate Ballentine for Sunday under practice-squad rules, with his availability uncertain as the defense seeks improvement after allowing nearly 31 points per game.
