Overview

  • Dallas announced the practice-squad signing of defensive back Corey Ballentine on September 25, three days before hosting Green Bay on Sunday Night Football.
  • Ballentine spent three seasons with the Packers from 2022 to 2024, starting seven games and contributing extensively on special teams.
  • He fills the practice-squad spot opened when safety Zion Childress left for the Texans’ active roster earlier in the week.
  • The 29-year-old appeared in one regular-season game for the Patriots this year before being released on Tuesday and signing with Dallas.
  • Reporters note he could be elevated with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland dealing with injuries, and some analysts suggest his recent Packers experience could offer limited tactical insight.
