Colts sign two veteran cornerbacks after recent injuries

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerbacks Tre Herndon and Duke Shelley on Thursday.

This comes after Colts cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and JuJu Brents both sustained hamstring injuries earlier this week.

Jones was carted off during practice on Tuesday with a hamstring injury. Brents did not practice on Tuesday.

Jones, Brents, and rookie Justin Walley were in a competition for a starting cornerback spot.

Herndon is a seven year NFL veteran. He played just one game in 2024, with the New Orleans Saints. From 2019-2023, he played in at least 15 games in four of the five seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He has three career interceptions.

Shelley is a six year NFL veteran. He, like Herndon, played just one game in 2024. Shelley was with the New York Giants in 2024, Los Angeles Rams in 2023 (11 games), Minnesota Vikings in 2022 (11 games), and played with the Chicago Bears for three seasons from 2019-2021 (30 total games).

He has one career interception.

The Colts get back to practice at training camp on Thursday night, practicing from 8-10 p.m. at Grand Park in Westfield.
