Overview
- Walley, a second-year cornerback who tore an ACL in 2025, showed he is healthy by breaking up two end-zone passes in a short Colts practice on Saturday.
- The team held Walley out of a recent preseason game after he logged heavy snaps in a joint practice with New England to protect his workload following the injury layoff.
- Fox Sports analyst Rob Rang listed Walley as a potential second-year breakout because Kenny Moore's departure opens the nickel role that Walley could claim.
- Walley is competing with veteran Cameron Taylor-Britt for inside slot snaps while Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward remain the outside starters and Ward is managing a recent back issue.
- The Colts' thin cornerback depth and last season's league-worst-ish pass yardage make Walley's availability important for Indianapolis' Week 1 plans and for how coaches manage snaps to avoid re-injury.
