The Indianapolis Colts shook up their leadership after a 26-20 Week 6 loss to the Tennessee Titans, announcing the departure of longtime general manager Chris Ballard. While Ballard had achieved multiple notable milestones since joining the organization in 2017, the team’s performance this season led to questions about his future. With Ballard out, Indianapolis moved quickly to appoint a new front-office leader, naming Ed Dodds as the interim general manager for the time being.
This development comes amid a challenging start to the season for the Colts, and it could signal a broader slate of changes in the coming months as the organization reassesses its direction and goals. Dodds will lead the front office during this transitional period, overseeing personnel decisions as the team evaluates its strategy going forward.
