Justin Walley: Everything you need to know

General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Walley is at the end of his rehab for the ACL tear he suffered in August of 2025, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports. Walley was unable to play at all last year after tearing his ACL during training camp, but there's optimism he'll be back to full strength when training camp begins in 2026. With veteran starting corner Kenny Moore seeking a trade away from Indianapolis, the team could be in more need of Walley's services when the new season starts than it thought it would be.

Walley (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday. Walley was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Thursday, effectively ending his rookie season. This move now makes that official. The timing of the injury was particularly unfortunate, as Walley was reportedly contending for a starting role at outside corner.

Walley suffered a torn ACL during practice on Tuesday and will miss the 2025 season, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. Walley was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft and had drawn strong reviews for his work early in camp. He was challenging to immediately start at outside corner, but he'll now have a lost rookie season.
